Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The medication works very well in conjunction with the Quinadine Gluconate to help calm the extra heart beats. I started on the medication when I was 19 and am still on it today at age 50. I've tried other new drugs but always seem to come back to this tried and true one. |
| Side effects: | | The only complaint I have is that Corgard tends to lower your blood sugar if you are prone to that anyway. If I increased my dosages to over 20mg daily, I would have many problems with low blood sugar, even to the point of passing out. I learned how to deal with it, but wish it was not a side effect. |
| Comments: | | I was put on Corgard because of the Mytral Valve prolapse. I am very symptomatic. This greatly reduced the skipped beats. I take 1 tablet at night before going to bed. |
