In these patients, particularly in the presence of impaired left ventricular function, Flecain should be used with extreme caution, preferably after other antiarrhythmic drugs have been tried or considered inappropriate.,Use of flecainide acetate in chronic atrial fibrillation has not been adequately studied and is not recommended.,2.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Flecainide
acetate;
N-(2-piperidinylmethyl)-2,
5-bis
(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)
benzamide
acetate,
belongs to the benzamide class of antiarrhythmic drugs and is
structurally related to lignocaine and
procainamide. It is chemically distinguished from these agents by the
presence of trifluoroethoxy-
substituents in the aromatic portion of the molecule and a piperidine
ring in the amide side chain
instead of the diethylaminoethyl group of the procainamide side chain.
The compound is a racemic
mixture.
EXCIPIENTS:
Silicified microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, maize
starch and magnesium stearate.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
FLECAIN is indicated for:
1.
Supraventricular arrhythmias:
a)
due to pre-excitation syndromes, e.g. Wolff-Parkinson-White and
Lown-Ganong-Levine
syndromes
b)
due to dual AV nodal pathways in patients with debilitating symptoms
c)
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (PAF) associated with disabling
symptoms
Although FLECAIN may be effective in supraventricular arrhythmias in
patients with structural
heart disease, its use has been associated with life-threatening and
occasionally fatal ventricular
arrhythmias. In these patients, particularly in the presence of
impaired left ventricular function,
FLECAIN should be used with extreme caution, preferably after other
antiarrhythmic drugs have been
tried or considered inappropriate.
Use of flecainide acetate in chronic atrial fibrillation has not been
adequately studied and is not
recommended.
