Professional:Agents that alkalinize the urine decrease the renal elimination of flecainide. The result may be increased plasma flecainide levels and increased effectiveness. The patient should be monitored for flecainide toxicity, and plasma flecainide levels should be checked when appropriate. Also, flecainide effectiveness may be decreased when an agent that alkalinizes the urine is discontinued.
