Flecad 50 Tablet contains flecainide (50 mg) that acts on your body in the following ways:

• Sodium Channel Inhibition: Flecainide works by blocking sodium channels within your heart cells. This action reduces the excitability of the heart muscle, preventing abnormal impulses from occurring.
• Prolonged Refractory Period: By inhibiting sodium channels, flecainide extends the refractory period - the time during which a new heartbeat cannot begin. This helps maintain a regular heart rhythm.
• Stabilisation of Heart Rhythm: By slowing down abnormal electrical signals in the heart that can cause irregular heartbeats, flecainide aids in stabilising your heart rhythm. This management of heart rhythm reduces risks such as blood clots, heart attacks, and stroke.

• Store Flecad 50 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20-25°C.
• Keep the medicine away from direct light and moisture.
• Ensure it is securely stored out of reach of children.

• Since Flecad 50 Tablet is used for managing heart arrhythmias, you should limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol as they might trigger irregular heartbeats.
