Amiodarone

Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication used to treat and prevent a number of types of cardiac dysrhythmias.[4] This includes ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), and wide complex tachycardia, as well as atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.[4] Evidence in cardiac arrest, however, is poor.[5] It can be given by mouth, intravenously, or intraosseously.[4] When used by mouth, it...

I am 63 and because of the arrhythmias the doctor prescribe to use cordarone .After 1.5 year of using cordarone the doctor says to stop taking sintrom directly ( not by minimizing the dosage) and instead to use Aspirin. Do the use of cordarone make unnecessary to take sintrom? Its ok to stop the Sintrom directly after almost 2 years of using it? ## Hi, Seni! The Aspirin he's advised you to take will work similarly to the Sintrom, since it also works as a blood thinner. Learn more Aspirin details here. Stopping the Sintrom abruptly, without taking anything to work as a blood thinner could cause problems, but that's likely why he told you to take the Aspirin. However, you should check with your doctor to be certain. Ae there any other questions or concerns?

Hi my mom was recently advised Cordarone 150 - once daily. Its been about 1 month and she has been complaining of itching in the bottom half of her legs and arms. Is Cordarone likley to cause this? ## Cordarone contains the active ingredient Amiodarone, this is most commonly used to treat arrhythmia's and yes, it may be causing this problem because it has an effect on circulation. Learn more Cordarone details here. She should contact her doctor, there may some other medication she can try, or something she can use to relieve the itching. IS there anything else I can help with?

Can I take Tylenol with Prednisone? I have a headache and this is all I've got. ## Hi Teresa - I checked medlineplus.gov and did not see any mention of Acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) being listed as something to avoid while taking Prednisone. I did see blood thinners, as well as Aspirin on the list. Ultimately I would place a quick call to the pharmacy just to be safe. Here is what I found: " Tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone); anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin); certain antifungals such as fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox),...

I am taking Pradax at the moment, but I understand that it can cause joint swellings ( which I am having). I understand there is a new drug out for treatment to atrofib ## Pradaxa is the newest that I'm aware of, it was just approved back in 2010. I am not sure what all may be available for you, since I'm based in the U.S. and going by our information here. As to the joint pain and swelling, that is a potentially serious side effect and you should contact your doctor about it immediately to have it checked out. Does anyone know of a newer medication that's available? ## There are actually quite a few anti-arrhythmic medications that are often prescribed to help prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation. Commonly used medications include: Amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone)...
