Moricizine ( mor-IH-siz-een) belongs to the group of medicines known as antiarrhythmics. It is used to correct irregular or rapid heartbeats to a normal rhythm by making the heart tissue less sensitive. There is a chance that Moricizine may cause new or make worse existing heart rhythm problems when it is used. Since other antiarrhythmic medicines have been shown to cause severe problems in some patients, Moricizine is only used to treat serious heart rhythm problems. Discuss this possible effect with your doctor. Moricizine is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form: Oral Tablets (U.S.)
Moricizine is used to treat irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and to maintain a normal heart rate. It acts on the heart muscle to improve the heart's rhythm. Moricizine comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken every 8 hours. Moricizine is sometimes started in the hospital where your response can be monitored. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Moricizine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Moricizine controls irregular heartbeats, but does not cure them. Continue to take Moricizine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Moricizine without talking to your doctor. Your heartbeats may become irregular if you suddenly stop taking Moricizine.
