Multaq® has only one prescribed dosage. One 400 mg tablet should be taken in the morning and one in the evening. Both should be taken with a meal.

The tablets are white and film coated; they should be taken orally. They are oblong-shaped and engraved on one side with a double wave marking and on the other side with the code "4142".

Multaq® Dose Administration

The heart medication is given to reduce the risk of needing hospitalization in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat, sometimes rapid), atrial flutter (rapid heartbeat), who also have high blood pressure, history of stroke, certain other heart problems, or who will be cardioverted (shock to the heart to reset it to a normal rhythm).

Multaq® should not be given to patients with serious heart failure or moderate heart failure that has deteriorated and required the patient to be hospitalized or referred to a specialized heart failure clinic. Other patients who should not be given the drug are those with heart problems known as second- or third-degree atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome (except when the patient has a functioning pacemaker). Other patients who should not take Multaq® are those with bradycardia (a slow heart rate, usually defined as slower than 50 or 60 beats per minute).

Can I Overdose on Multaq®?

It is possible to take too much Multaq®.

An overdose may lead to:

• Slowing of the heart rate (bradycardia)
• Changes in blood pressure
• Dangerous arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)

If an overdose occurs, according to the drug label information, the patient's heart rhythm and blood pressure should be monitored closely. The label says "treatment should be supportive and based on symptoms." There is no information on whether Multaq® can be removed from the body by dialysis and no specific antidote is available. If the overdose was recent, pumping the stomach may be helpful.
