Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The both medications are antiarritmic drugs.
Several studies have reported that propafenone is safer and more effective in preventing attacks of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
So,I suggest using Propafenone.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
