I had AFIB (SVT) diagnosed when I was 24 years old... I have been QuinidineGluconate since then - I am 69 years old... now I have been taking QUINIGLUTE 324 MG/TID AND DIGOXIN .25 DAILY for that period of time... except for a time in 1995 when I was taking Quiniglute twice aday on misadvice I have not had a severe occurence. Once in a while if I forget a pill the condition will comeback with a little 'flutter' to remind me that it's still there.

Deceases platlets, esp in cancer patients.

Prescribed for a family member in the 1970's with MVP and was more than likely the cause of death at age 29.

causes constant diarrhea and cramps,nausea etc.

This medication did the trick for me. I have had fewer episodes since being on this one. The doc tried several other meds and cardio conversion several times but quinidine with 2 other meds seems to be working.

This drug is "old school", however, I am allergic to the more modern anti-arrhythmia medicine. It is getting more difficult to find now. I have been told that I am 1 of only 2 patients of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation that currently uses this drug.

After episodes of VT causing AICD to fire, placed on Q in 2005. Has been very effective in controlling VT and AF, although AF continues unabated now. 2x a day @ 324 mg but also need Immodium to control the diarrhea

i was on this drug for well over 15 years and was taken off as easily as i was put on it. my cardiologist , when questioned, stated 'it's toxic' i don't feel one bit of difference, ( am on lanoxin as well)but have acquired type 2 diabetis but i am also on anti-depressants and had one year of chemo for breast ca. in 1992. so what was the toxicity? i had some diahhrea in the very beginning but that ceased early on. please reply, respectfully-H.
