- In 3 minutes you'll learn about:

- What is Amiodarone 200 mg (Cordarone)?

- First, let’s talk about Amiodarone mechanism of action, Amiodarone is primarily a class III antiarrhythmic. Like other antiarrhythmic agents of this class, amiodarone works primarily by blocking potassium rectifier currents, responsible for the repolarization of the heart during phase 3 of the cardiac action potential.

- This potassium channel-blocking effect results in increased action potential duration and a prolonged effective refractory period in cardiac myocytes. So myocyte excitability is decreased, preventing reentry mechanisms and ectopic foci from perpetuating tachyarrhythmias.
Unlike other class III agents, amiodarone also blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, calcium channels, and sodium channels.

- It is available as 100 mg and 200 mg tablets, and also available as injection.

- Amiodarone is used in the treatment of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, specially the life-threatening, recurrent ventricular arrhythmias, that do not respond to other antiarrhythmic agents.

Amiodarone is a medicine used to treat abnormal heart rhythms. It is an effective medication for a wide range of abnormal rhythms of the heart. As it is an iodine containing molecule, it can cause abnormalities of the thyroid gland like inflammation of thyroid gland (thyroiditis), decreased function of the thyroid (hypothyroidism) or increased function of the thyroid (hyperthyroidism). Amiodarone can cause microdeposits in the cornea of the eye, which can be detected only by a specialized equipment known as slit lamp. As the deposits usually occur in the periphery of the cornea, it does not cause visual impairment.

Long term usage of amiodarone in higher doses can also damage the lungs by pulmonary fibrosis. Liver function abnormalities can also occur with amiodarone rarely. Most of these adverse effects are unlikely with lower doses. Of the adverse effects, thyroid dysfunction may be the most commonly documented one while lung fibrosis is probably the most serious one.
