Personalized support through customized compounded medications.
At AllMedRx, we prepare compounded medications for atrial fibrillation based on your provider’s prescription and your individual needs.
Understanding Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AFib or AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and often rapid heartbeat. In atrial fibrillation, the heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat chaotically and irregularly, out of sync with the lower chambers (ventricles). This irregular rhythm can reduce the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively and may lead to blood pooling in the atria, increasing the risk of blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications.
Atrial fibrillation can occur in episodes (paroxysmal AFib), persist for extended periods (persistent AFib), or become permanent (permanent or chronic AFib). Many people with atrial fibrillation experience symptoms, while others may have no noticeable symptoms at all.
AFib can be triggered by various factors, including high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, excessive alcohol consumption, and other underlying conditions. The condition becomes more common with age and affects millions of people worldwide.
Atrial fibrillation is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider, often a cardiologist or electrophysiologist, based on clinical examination, medical history, electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), cardiac monitoring devices, and other diagnostic evaluations.
If you are experiencing symptoms consistent with atrial fibrillation, it is important to speak with your licensed healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance.
Common Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation
Cardiac Symptoms
Physical Symptoms
Everyone experiences atrial fibrillation differently. Some individuals may be asymptomatic. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs, such as requiring adjusted dosing or alternative medication forms.
Medications for Atrial Fibrillation: Treatment Options
Atrial fibrillation is often managed through a combination of medication, lifestyle modifications, cardioversion procedures when appropriate, catheter ablation, and regular cardiac monitoring. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your symptoms, type of AFib, stroke risk, underlying conditions, medical history, and treatment goals.
Common Types of Atrial Fibrillation Medications
Medications such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or digoxin may be prescribed by healthcare providers to help control heart rate and prevent the ventricles from beating too rapidly.
Antiarrhythmic medications such as amiodarone, flecainide, propafenone, sotalol, or dofetilide may be used to help restore and maintain normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm) depending on the patient’s presentation and provider recommendation.
Blood-thinning medications may be prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots. Options may include warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or dabigatran, depending on individual stroke risk assessment.
In some cases, antiplatelet medications such as aspirin may be prescribed, particularly for patients with lower stroke risk or when anticoagulation is not appropriate.
Providers may prescribe medications to manage underlying conditions that contribute to AFib, such as high blood pressure, heart failure, thyroid disorders, or coronary artery disease.
ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or other antihypertensive medications may be used to help control blood pressure and reduce AFib triggers.
In many cases, multiple medications may be prescribed to manage both heart rate/rhythm and stroke prevention. Compounding may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed and clinically appropriate.
