Indication
Ventricular Arrhythmias PO Load: 800-1600 mg PO qDay for 1-3 weeks until response; once adequate arrhythmia control achieved, reduce dose to 600-800 mg/day for 1 mo; THEN reduce to maintenance dose Maintenance dose: 400 mg PO qDay IV 150 mg over first 10 min (15mg/min), followed by 360 mg over next 6 hr (1 mg/min), THEN 540 mg over remaining 18 hr (0.5 mg/min), for a total of 1000 mg over 24 hr before administering maintenance infusion Maintenance: 0.5 mg/min for a total 720 mg/24hr at a concentration of 1-6 mg/mL (360 mg/200mL), or 1.8 mg/mL Nexterone at rate of...
... Show moreAdministration
Potentiation of antiarrhythmic drugs. Possible increased risk of adverse effects when used with anaesthetic agents. Monitor plasma levels of amiodarone when used with HIV protease inhibitors. Cimetidine may increase serum levels of amiodarone. Concurrent use may increase serum levels of ciclosporin. May increase risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis when used with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Rifampin may reduce the serum levels of amiodarone. Potentially Fatal: Potentiates the effect of warfarin and other anticoagulants hence dose of warfarin generally needs to be reduced approx half. Raised plasma concentrations of digoxin, phenytoin and quinidine. Additive effect with beta-blockers and calcium-channel blockers (e.g. verapamil...
... Show moreAdult Dose
Close monitoring is recommended as amiodarone may worsen arrhythmia especially when used concurrently with other anti-arrhythmic drugs or drugs that prolong QT interval. May cause hypotension and bradycardia. May increase risk of liver toxicity. May cause visual disturbance/impairment; corneal refractive laser surgery is not recommended in patients on amiodarone treatment. May cause lung damage; monitor for pulmonary toxicity e.g. acute respiratory distress syndrome. Monitor liver functions regularly. May affect defibrillation or pacing thresholds of cardiac devices. Correct electrolyte imbalance before starting treatment. Caution when used in patients undergoing surgery. Avoid excessive sunlight exposure due to increased risk of photosensitivity. Hepatic...
... Show moreRenal Dose
Amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic agent which inhibits stimulation, prolongs action potential and refractory period in myocardial tissues. It also decreases AV conduction and sinus node function. Sinus rate is reduced by 15-20%, PR and QT intervals are increased. Amiodarone can cause marked sinus bradycardia or sinus arrest and heart block. In acute IV doses, amiodarone may exert a mild negative inotropic effect.
Mode of Action
May be taken with or without food. Take consistently w/ or w/o meals. Take w/ meals if high dose or to reduce GI discomfort. Reconstitution: To make solution for 1st rapid loading infusion or supplemental infusion: Add 3 ml of amiodarone HCl concentrate (50 mg/ml) to 100 ml of dextrose 5% to give a final conc of 1.5 g/ml; for slow infusion: Add 18 ml of amiodarone HCl concentrate (50 mg/ml) to 500 ml of dextrose 5% to give a final conc of 1.8 mg/ml; for subsequent maintenance infusions, diluted solutions with conc ranging from 1-6 mg/ml may be used....
