Jollimex 50mg Capsule

Jollimex 50mg Capsule is an antiarrhythmic medication containing mexiletine. It is used to treat irregular heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. The medication also helps manage symptoms of myotonia in adults with non-dystrophic myotonic disorders, which result from genetic defects affecting muscle function. These disorders stem primarily from muscle-related symptoms rather than specific types of muscular dystrophy. Myotonia refers to a condition in which muscles have difficulty relaxing after contraction, leading to stiffness or delayed muscle relaxation.
