- 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.
