Abstract
Amiodarone is a widely used antiarrhythmic drug whose use is significantly limited by numerous undesirable effects following long-term administration. In the literature so far, it has been reported that the most common acute adverse effect of the intravenous administration of amiodarone requiring intervention is hypotension. We present the case of a female patient who experienced low back pain after an intravenous loading dose of amiodarone.
