Can I take Flecainide and Mirabegron astellas together?

Why this happens

Mirabegron can slow down the action of a specific enzyme in the liver (called CYP2D6) that is responsible for breaking down flecainide. Because the flecainide is broken down more slowly, it can build up to higher levels in your body.

What you should do

You should speak to your doctor before taking these medicines together. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose of flecainide or monitor your heart rhythm more closely using an ECG (electrocardiogram). If you experience any new palpitations, fainting, or shortness of breath, seek medical advice immediately.
