Multaq Uses

Multaq is licensed to treat atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in adults. Specifically, it is used to minimize the risk of heart-related hospitalizations in people who have these types of irregular heart rhythms, have other cardiovascular risk factors, have recently had an episode, and currently have a normal heart rhythm. Healthcare providers may also occasionally recommend off-label uses of Multaq, such as for treating other arrhythmias.
