Bad Batch Of Flecainide Tabliest From Avkare

I've been on Flecainide for around 8 years and so far no issues. My last major breakthrough was March 2011. I have the occasional PVC but nothing major. I got a new set of prescriptions and one of them was 150mg tablets from AvKare. I started with these and about a week later I started having issues. Numerous PVCs, episiodes of afib that lasted anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. I had some leftover tablets from the prior prescription and stared taking those (while taking the new prescriptions for the rest of my meds) I'm feeling better and episodes are only occurring when I'm sleeping and I'm hoping by the end of the week I'll be back to normal. I'm thinking I got a bad batch of pills but I don't know how to confirm it. Any suggestions?

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

What are the markings on the new tablets you received?

According to NIH and FDA reports, our bodies can get used to any medication that we have been taking for a long period of time, so it may stop working as well for us and we may need a dosage adjustment, or to try a different medication.
