AMIODARONE 200MG TABLETS (28 TABLET PACK)

MANUFACTURED BY BRISTOL LABORATORIES LTD


What the Product Is

Amiodarone is a powerful Class III anti-arrhythmic agent. It is used to stabilize irregular heartbeats by correcting the electrical impulses that control the heart's rhythm. By prolonging the electrical activity in the heart muscle, it helps the heart return to and maintain a normal, steady rhythm. The 200mg strength from Bristol Laboratories is the standard maintenance dose for many patients.


What it Treats

This medication is indicated for the treatment of severe heart rhythm disorders, particularly when other medicines have not worked. It is used for:

  • Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Managing and preventing the recurrence of an irregular, often rapid, heart rate.

  • Ventricular Tachycardia: Controlling life-threatening rapid heartbeats originating in the lower chambers of the heart.

  • Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome: Managing abnormal electrical pathways in the heart.

  • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): Restoring normal rhythm in cases of abnormally fast heart rates.


Key Active Ingredient

  • Amiodarone Hydrochloride (200mg): A high-quality pharmaceutical formulation that provides consistent therapeutic levels to ensure cardiac stability.


Dosage and Administration

  • Loading Phase: Doctors often start with a high "loading dose" (e.g., 200mg three times a day) for 1–3 weeks to saturate the body's tissues.

  • Maintenance Phase: The dose is then lowered to a maintenance level, typically one (1) 200mg tablet daily, though some patients may require only 100mg or 200mg every other day.

  • Schedule: It is vital to take your tablet at the same time every day.


How to Use

  1. Consistency with Food: You can take Amiodarone with or without food, but you must do the same thing every day. Taking it consistently ensures the amount of medicine absorbed remains the same.

  2. Avoid Grapefruit Juice: Do not consume grapefruit or its juice, as it significantly increases the risk of side effects by raising the medicine's levels in your blood.

  3. Blood Tests: You will require regular monitoring of your liver, thyroid, and lung function while taking this medication.


Important Precautions

  • Sun Protection: Amiodarone makes your skin highly sensitive to sunlight. Wear protective clothing and use high-SPF sunscreen to prevent severe sunburn and a rare bluish-grey skin discoloration.

  • Lung and Thyroid Warning: This medication contains iodine and can affect the thyroid gland. It can also, in rare cases, affect the lungs. Contact our pharmacist immediately if you develop a new, persistent cough or shortness of breath.

  • Eye Health: Long-term use can cause tiny deposits on the surface of the eye. These are usually harmless but may cause "halos" around lights at night. Regular eye exams are recommended.

  • Drug Interactions: Amiodarone interacts with many drugs, including blood thinners (Warfarin), Digoxin, and certain cholesterol-lowering statins. Always provide your full medication list to our pharmacist.


Who it's Suitable For

  • Indicated For: Adults with documented, life-threatening, or highly symptomatic heart rhythm disorders that have been diagnosed by a cardiologist.


FAQ

Q: Can I stop taking this once my heart feels "normal"?

A: No. Never stop taking Amiodarone without your doctor's supervision. Because the drug stays in your body for a long time, stopping it can lead to a return of dangerous arrhythmias days or even weeks later.

Q: Why are there 28 tablets in the pack?

A: This pack provides a 4-week supply, making it easier to track your monthly treatment and schedule necessary follow-up clinical tests.

Q: Can I drink alcohol while on this medication?

A: Moderate alcohol intake is usually okay, but consult your doctor first, as alcohol can sometimes trigger the very heart rhythm issues you are trying to treat.
