A pharmacist in Vietnam recommended that I take Antesik, a local medication based on Berberine, for indigestion. I took less than the suggested dosage over two days and woke up both nights with an extremely fast heart rate that took several hours to slow down. This has never happened to me before and it was quite scary. I understand that this medication is used to treat heart disease, but it seemed to cause heart issues for me! However, my stomach does feel better. I’m curious if this is a known side effect of Berberine.
