Patient's question:
What antiepileptic drugs have antiarrhythmic effects?Doctor's answer:
If the exam is not good, there are drugs for epilepsy that have antiarrhythmic effects, mainly phenytoin. This drug has some efficacy in treating ventricular arrhythmias. However, this effect is not commonly used for the treatment of heart disease. Therefore, if there is both epilepsy and arrhythmia, the drug treatment effect may be better depending on the specific type of arrhythmia.
