Mexitil (active ingredient: mexiletine) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Ventricular Arrhythmias: Mexitil is used for the treatment of documented, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia.

Mexitil belongs to a class of drugs known as antiarrhythmics (Class 1B), which work by stabilizing the cardiac cell membrane and decreasing the excitability of the heart muscle, thereby helping to restore normal heart rhythm.

Mexiletine is available in capsule form and comes in strengths of 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg and it is taken by mouth. Typically, it is taken three times a day, every 8 hours, but once arrhythmias have been controlled with Mexiletine, it can be taken twice daily, every 12 hours. Mexiletine should be taken with food or an antacid to prevent stomach upset, and at around the same time every day. Your doctor may start you on an average dose and then gradually increase or decrease your dose, not more than once every 2 to 3 days.

Take Mexiletine exactly as directed and not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed. Mexiletine controls arrhythmias but does not cure them. Even if you feel well, continue taking Mexiletine as prescribed. Do not stop taking Mexiletine suddenly, as doing so can cause your condition to become worse.

The typical dosing for Mexiletine is a starting dose of 200 mg or 300 mg by mouth every 8 hours in adults. For some patients, the dose may need to be increased up to 400 mg every 8 hours. If the medication is effective, the dosing schedule may be changed to every 12 hours while maintaining the same total daily dose.

Does mexiletine cause weight gain?

Weight gain is not a typical side effect of mexiletine. In some rare cases, it can cause edema, which is a build-up of fluid in the body’s tissues.

How long does it take for mexiletine to work?

Mexiletine typically starts to work 2 or 3 hours after you take a dose. If you are in the hospital, you might get you a higher “loading dose” so that the medication kicks in faster. However, this should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Can Mexitil be used long-term?

Mexitil may be used long-term to control irregular heart rhythms, as long as it continues to be effective and is well-tolerated. However, regular monitoring may be necessary to ensure that it remains safe and effective.

Can Mexitil be used in children?

The safety and effectiveness of Mexitil in children has not yet been established, and its use in children should be carefully considered and monitored by a doctor.
