Hello...

This medication cannot be purchased without a Dr's prescription. It would not be in your best interest to take this outside of a Dr's careful monitoring.

Because Betapace may sometimes cause an abnormal or irregular heartbeat, as well as prolongation of QT interval.Patients who begin taking Betapace should be observed in a hospital or similar setting in which heart and kidney function monitoring may be performed for at least 3 days after starting Betapace . If you aren't hospitalized while initiating treatment, you need to have a home monitor to send in recordings 2 hours after each dose.
