Always a risk of side effects with any drug Margaret ..up to you whether you take it or not.

All I know is that I would not have had my mum until she was 89 if there had not been drugs on the market to steady her irregular heartbeat. No side effects suffered, and took it for 31 years.

My father would not have died at 62 if the anti-coagulant drugs had been available.

Sure no-one will put these in the same class as leeches and arsenic in the future no matter how much medical knowledge improves.
