MULTAQ is a medication for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) that can help keep the heart beating in regular, steady rhythm.
If you’ve been prescribed MULTAQ, it’s because your doctor believes it can have an important role keeping your heart in normal rhythm for longer.
People taking MULTAQ had an average of 116 days in a row with a normal heart rhythm, more than twice as many than those taking placebo.
MULTAQ kept patients in normal heart rhythm 2.2 times longer than patients taking placebo • 116 days for MULTAQ vs 53 days for placebo

After one year, MULTAQ lowered the chance of another AFib event by 25% (recurrence of 64.1% in patients treated with MULTAQ, compared to 75.2% in the control group)

The American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and Heart Rhythm Society recommend MULTAQ and medicines like it to help maintain normal heart rhythm.
Your doctor is your best source for determining which medicines are right for you.
Sinus rhythm is when your heart is pumping blood and at a "normal" rate. When it is not,you may have AFib. Paroxysmal AFib is an episode that lasts less than a week. You might feel it for a few minutes, or a few days. Persistent AFib is an episode that lasts more than a week, but less than a year. Do not take MULTAQ if you have a type of AFib called permanent AFib.
MULTAQ should be taken twice a day with full meals and avoid grapefruit juice.
