Hi,
Multaq is composed of 'dronedarone', which is a new antiarrythmic drug used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. It is a potential replacement for amiodarone.
Amiodarone is an alternative drug and is the most effective atrial fibrillation medications, but amiodarone has major toxicity issues. Kindly take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up as advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
