Cordarone Side Effect

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?

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)...
