Description

Amiodarone is a drug that is used to treat and prevent certain types of irregular heartbeats. It belongs to the group of drugs called class III anti-arrhythmics. Amiodarone is a long-acting medication that can take up to three weeks for full effect. Amiodarone has been shown to reduce the number of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structural heart disease. This drug also has significant cytotoxicity, which means it may affect normal cells as well as cancer cells, and increases the risk of serious side effects such as fibrillation and glucose intolerance. Amiodarone should not be taken with other medications that can cause fibrillation or make it hard for your body to control blood pressure, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen.
