Abstract
Amiodarone is an effective antiarrhythmic drug for supra-ven-tri-cular and ventricular arrhythmias. A majority of patients treated with amiodarone suffer from mild adverse events, however, serious life-threatening adverse events caused by amiodarone are also seen. This review describes the pharmacology, interac-tions, side and adverse effects of amiodarone and highlights the importance of a systematic interdisciplinary follow-up protocol for outpatients treated with amiodarone.
