Before taking Multaq, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history, especially if you have heart failure, atrial fibrillation, liver problems, kidney problems, or any medication allergies.
Avoid Grapefruit
Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking Multaq unless your healthcare provider or pharmacist tells you it is safe. Grapefruit can increase the amount of dronedarone in your body, which may raise the risk of side effects.
Heart Failure Warning
Do not take Multaq if you have severe heart failure or if you recently had worsening heart failure symptoms that required hospitalization. In these situations, taking Multaq may increase the risk of death.
Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop new or worsening heart failure symptoms, such as shortness of breath, swelling in the legs or feet, sudden weight gain, unusual tiredness, or trouble breathing while lying down. If heart failure develops or worsens, your healthcare provider may stop Multaq.
Permanent Atrial Fibrillation Warning
Do not take Multaq if you have permanent atrial fibrillation and your healthcare provider does not plan to restore a normal heart rhythm. In people with permanent atrial fibrillation, Multaq can increase the risk of death, stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure.
Your healthcare provider may check your heart rhythm regularly to make sure Multaq remains appropriate for you.
Allergic Reactions
Do not take Multaq if you are allergic to dronedarone or any of the ingredients in Multaq. Seek emergency medical help if you develop symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
