Tambocor is prescribed to treat certain heart rhythm disturbances including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a sudden attack or worsening of irregular heartbeat in which the upper chamber of the heart beats irregularly and very rapidly) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (a sudden attack or worsening of an abnormally fast but regular heart rate that occurs in intermittent episodes).

ADULTS

Treatment with Tambocor almost always begins in the hospital.

The usual starting dose is 50 to 100 milligrams every 12 hours depending on the condition under treatment. Every 4 days your doctor may increase your dose by 50 milligrams every 12 hours until your condition is under control.

CHILDREN

Children’s dosage is based on body surface area and is always supervised by a cardiac physician.
