Why is Norpace prescribed?

Norpace (Disopyramide) is prescribed to treat and manage abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). The medicine can also be prescribed for other medical conditions as deemed appropriate by your healthcare provider.

What does it do?

Norpace (Disopyramide) works by stabilizing the electrical activity in the heart, helping it maintain a regular rhythm and reduce the speed of overactive electrical impulses in the heart, allowing it to beat at a more normal rate.

How should I take it?

Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your medical condition and how you respond to the treatment. The usual dose is one capsule every 6 hours for immediate release capsule and extended release capsule every 12 hours.

You can take Norpace with or without food, but it's a good idea to follow your doctor's specific instructions if they recommend one over the other.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Norpace, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

What are the special precautions before taking Norpace?

Before taking Norpace (Disopyramide), certain precautions are essential to ensure its safe use. Here are some important precautions to keep in mind:

Inform your doctor about your medical history, particulary if you have:

• Difficulty urinating or conditions like an enlarged prostate.
• Heart-related issues, such as a history of heart failure, low blood pressure, or a history of arrhythmias.
• Liver or kidney problems.
• Glaucoma, as Norpace may worsen this condition.
• Myasthenia gravis (a neuromuscular disorder).

Disclose all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you're taking to avoid interactions. Some medications, particularly other anti-arrhythmic drugs or those that prolong the QT interval, can increase the risk of side effects.

Do not stop taking Norpace suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can worsen your arrhythmia.

Your doctor may schedule regular tests, such as ECGs (electrocardiograms), to monitor your heart's rhythm and check for any side effects and if you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels closely, as Norpace may affect them.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects may include:
• Dry mouth
• Blurred vision
• Constipation
• Dizziness or lightheaded
• Fatigue or weakness
• Headache

Serious side effects may include:
• Painful or difficult urination
• Shortness of breath or sudden weight gain
• Signs of low blood sugar such as sweating, weakness, or shakiness
• Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
• Worsening of arrhythmia's or irregular heartbeats

This is not a complete list of all possible side effects, and others may occur. For more information about side effects, please consult your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

The safety of taking Norpace (Disopyramide) alongside another drug depends on the specific medication. Certain drugs can interact with Norpace, leading to reduced effectiveness or increased risk of side effects. Here are some key reminders to keep in mind about the potential drug interactions:

• Medications such as certain antibiotics, antipsychotics, and antidepressants can increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems when combined with Norpace.
• Using other or multiple antiarrhythmic drugs together may increase side effects or worsen arrhythmias.
• Diuretics which are often used for high blood pressure or heart failure, can lower potassium levels, which may increase the risk of side effects with Norpace.
• Medications for Myasthenia Gravis, as Norpace may worsen symptoms of this condition.
• Drugs for enlarged Prostate, as Norpace can cause urinary retention, which may worsen when combined with certain prostate medications.

Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking before combining them with Norpace (Disopyramide) to ensure safety.

How should I store it?

Store Norpace (Disopyramide) in its original container at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F). Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or cold.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose of Norpace (Disopyramide), it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention as it can lead to apnea, cardiac arrhythmia. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

During pregnancy, Norpace should be used only when prescribed by your doctor. It should only be used if your doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the risks to the baby. This is because there is limited information on the safety of Norpace during pregnancy, and its effects on fetal development are not fully known.

Norpace is also not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, as small amounts of the medication can pass into breast milk. This could potentially affect the nursing infant, especially if the baby has any underlying health issues. Your doctor will help assess whether the medication is necessary or if alternative treatments might be safer during breastfeeding.
