Hi Maria, this is what I found on Good RX.com, Dofetilide (Tikosyn) is an antiarrhythmic. It works by blocking potassium channels, which play a major part in your heart's electrical activity. Dofetilide (Tikosyn) slows down the electrical activity to keep you in a normal 'sinus' rhythm. Dofetilide (Tikosyn) is a strong antiarrhythmic medication for treating and preventing atrial fibrillation and flutter. It isn't a first-choice treatment since it requires close monitoring, including at least a 3-day stay in a healthcare facility when you first start on it. https://www.goodrx.com/dofetilide/what-is

This is what I found-New research concludes that “acupuncture may be an effective non-invasive and safe antiarrhythmic tool” for the treatment of A-fib (atrial fibrillation, AF)

Hope this helps.
