How can you relieve bloating and abdominal pain that can be a side effect of propafenone?
I often have air in my belly, abdominal bloating, sometimes I have twinges. Among the side effects of propafenone I have read gastrointestinal disorders of this type as well. How can I avoid these disorders or calm them down?
Thank you

Propafenone (an antiarrhythmic medicine) may cause gastrointestinal disorders in some patients, including bloating, nausea or abdominal pain. However, it is important not to modify the dosage or discontinue this medication without the explicit instruction of a cardiologist, as this could compromise your heart rhythm.
Taking propafenone while eating can significantly reduce direct irritation of the gastric mucosa. It is also worth limiting flatulent products (legumes, cabbages, carbonated drinks) and avoiding drinking grapefruit juice, which can increase the concentration of the drug in the blood and intensify side effects. Preparations with simethicon (e.g. Espumisan) can be used on an ad hoc basis, which facilitate the removal of gas from the intestines, but at least a 2-hour interval should be maintained from taking propafenone.
If the abdominal pain is severe or accompanied by a lack of appetite, it is necessary to check with a doctor to rule out the effect of the drug on liver function.
