What should I tell my doctor before taking TIKOSYN?

Before taking TIKOSYN, tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions including if you:

•
have heart problems
•
have kidney or liver problems
•
are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if TIKOSYN will harm your unborn baby.
•
are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. It is not known if TIKOSYN passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take TIKOSYN or breast-feed. You should not do both.

Especially tell your doctor if you take medicines to treat:

•
heart problems
•
high blood pressure
•
depression or other mental problems
•
asthma
•
allergies, or hay fever
•
skin problems
•
infections

Ask your doctor if you are not sure about the medicines you take. Tell your doctor about all prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, dietary supplements, and any natural or herbal remedies. TIKOSYN and other medicines may affect each other, causing serious side effects. If you take TIKOSYN with certain medicines, you will be more likely to have a different type of abnormal heartbeat. See "Who should not take TIKOSYN?"

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
