KSh 1,400.00
Amiodarone is typically available in tablet form, and a common strength is 200mg per tablet. The dosage and administration instructions for amiodarone depend on various factors including the type and severity of the arrhythmia, as well as individual patient characteristics such as age, weight, and other medical conditions.
Amiodarone is a medication used to treat certain types of serious irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) such as ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation. It belongs to a class of medications known as antiarrhythmics.
Treatment with amiodarone usually involves an initial loading dose followed by a maintenance dose. The loading dose is typically higher and is given to quickly achieve therapeutic levels of the medication in the body, while the maintenance dose is adjusted to maintain those levels over time.
It’s important to take amiodarone exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to follow their instructions carefully. Do not adjust your dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation or changes in dosage can lead to serious complications.
Amiodarone can have potentially serious side effects and interactions with other medications, so it’s essential to be monitored regularly by your doctor while taking it. Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, tremors, and changes in thyroid function. More serious side effects can include lung toxicity, liver damage, and cardiac arrhythmias.
If you experience any side effects or have concerns about taking amiodarone, be sure to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
