Introduction of Amiodarone HCI

Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication. Amiodarone affects the way that the heart beats. Amiodarone is used to treat irregular heartbeats. Amiodarone may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Precautions While Taking Amiodarone HCI

Before having any kind of surgery (including dental surgery) or emergency treatment, tell the medical doctor or dentist in charge that you are taking this medicine.

Amiodarone increases the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight; too much exposure could cause a serious sunburn. Your skin may continue to be sensitive to sunlight for several months after treatment with this medicine is stopped. A sunburn can occur even through window glass or thin cotton clothing. If you must go out in the sunlight, cover your skin and wear a wide-brimmed hat. A product applied to the skin to prevent sunburn should also be used. In case of a severe sunburn, check with your doctor.

After you have taken this medicine for a long time, it may cause a blue-gray color to appear on your skin, especially in areas exposed to the sun, such as your face, neck, and arms. This color will usually fade after treatment with amiodarone has ended, although it may take several months. However, check with your doctor if this effect occurs.

Check with your doctor if you notice any changes in your vision, such as a decrease in peripheral vision or in the clarity of the objects that you see, blurred vision, see halos, or your eyes become sensitive to light.
