Is Corlanor Safe To Be Taken For Tachycardia?
My cardiologist has prescribed Corlanor for my inappropriate tachycardia? He said this use is off label? Can you please tell me more about this medication and why this heart failure medication has been prescribed for me with a heart rate above 115?

Hello,
This is medicine used for high high rate, which may or may not be associated with heart failure. Its commonly given for high Heart rate in order bring it down. There are options available as like Beta blocker like Metoprolol etc, which will also serve the same purpose. If there is no specific cause for high Heart rate then there is no harm in having it, however, beta blockers are slightly better option.
Hope this helps you.
