No, that isn’t the present standard though I believe it was in the past. When I started it I had to come back to the office a few days (2 - 3?) later for an EKG. I hear similar things from other patients—though it may be different if you are taking it as a pill in the pocket. I was taking it daily when I started it. Perhaps your EP would have a different recommendation if you started by taking it daily as it takes a bit of time for the body to adjust to it. I believe that Tikosyn is the only antiarrythmic that presently requires a 3 day hospital stay for monitoring.Quote

My EP won't give me flecainide (for pill in the pocket) until I have a monitored 3 day stay in the hospital. Is this standard procedure? I guess it's due to the potential dangers/side effects of flecainide?
