Quinidine

Quinidine is a special drug that is used in some people who have irregular heartbeat problems, especially fast heartbeat problems.

It is an antiarrhythmic agent. Quinidine treats irregular heart rhythm and can slow rapid heartbeats which is also known as tachycardia. Quinidine can help the heart to return to and maintain a normal rhythm. Generic Quinidine tablets and capsules are available but you should consult with your primary health care provider before you choose one. Your pharmacist can also help in finding the proper drug for your condition.

It is important that users of this medication get instructions from the primary health care provider before stopping Quinidine. There can be serious health problems if you stop using Quinidine sulfate too quickly or without the proper instructions from your doctor.

You should consult with your primary health care provider about the issues of using Quinidine for hemodialysis. Again, there can be serious health issues that need to be discussed and addressed. Your primary health care provider can also explain to you the difference between dextromethorphan and Quinidine sulfate. It is important that you ask your doctor about any issues that you do not understand before you begin this medication.

Some of the possible side effects of Quinidine gluconate include such things as blurred vision or other change in vision, difficulty breathing, wheezing, dizziness or fainting spells, fever, headache, irregular heartbeat (palpitations), pain on swallowing, skin rash, peeling or loose skin, ringing in the ears, unusual bruising or bleeding, and unusual tiredness or weakness. Any of the above should be reported to your doctor immediately.

Less serious side effects that usually do not require medical attention include such things as changes in taste (bitter or metallic taste), confusion, diarrhea, flushing of the skin with intense itching, heartburn, stomach pain or cramps, increased sensitivity of the skin to sun or ultraviolet light, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.

These side effects should be reported if they become bothersome or persistent. Your primary health care provider may be able to help you alleviate some of these problems.
