Description of Mexitil

Indications & Dosage of Mexitil
Mexitil is used for treating certain serious types of irregular heartbeat, such as persistent ventricular tachycardia.

Treating irregular heartbeat helps in reducing risks of developing blood clots, strokes or heart attacks. In some cases, Mexitil can also be used for treating numbness, pain and tingling due to a certain nerve problem known as peripheral neuropathy.
The treatment usually starts with Mexitil 200mg taken every 8 hours. After 2-3 days, the dosage can be adjusted, depending on your response to the drug. You will be advised to take the capsules with and antacid or food. If the desired results are not achieved with 200mg every 8 hours, the dosage can be increased to Mexitil 400mg every 8 hours.
