Flecainide is an antiarrhythmic medication. It is used for patients that have prolonged periods of PVCS called ventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia is life threatening. Flecainide should not be used for other incidences of PVC's even if symptomatic. Flecainide should also be started in the hospital because of its proarrhythmic effects.
