Increased Risk of Death and Heart Problems Associated with Multaq

Saturday, 23 July 2011 09:29 | Written by Drug Recall Lawyer |

In a recent FDA sponsored study, Multaq, or dronedarone, was found to increase chances of death, stroke, or other serious cardiovascular issues by 200% compared to patients not on the antiarrhythmic drug. Multaq is widely used with patients with permanent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.

This study, referred to the FDA as PALLAS, was stopped early due to the severe negative results. Although this study is considered preliminary, the FDA does recommend that, "patients taking Multaq should talk to their healthcare professional about whether they should continue to take Multaq for non-permanent atrial fibrillation."
