If you live with a cardiovascular complication that has resulted in the development of cardiac arrhythmia, it is important to ask your physician about the use of medications as a way to promote electrolyte balance. When not effectively managed, electrolyte imbalance can lead to life threatening health complications.
For many patients with an electrolyte imbalance in connection with the cardiac arrhythmia, the use of prescription Midamor is quite common. Specifically, when your potassium levels are low, your physician may want to prescribe Midamor as part of your total cardiac treatment plan.
As a once-per-day dosing formula, in five milligram tablets, is generally all that is needed to assist in capturing control over your potassium levels and restore electrolyte balance. However, if your complications with cardiac arrhythmia are not sufficiently managed, your physician can increase your dosing to twice-per-day with as much as 10 milligrams per day in that same dosing.
As with any FDA approved drug, if you suffer from cardiac arrhythmia and utilize Midamor, you can expect there will be some side effects with use. Most common side effects experienced with Midamor include nausea, abdominal pain, gas and even the development of a rash. If you notice any of these symptoms or side effects are quite complex, be certain you consult your cardiologist before ceasing use.
