Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication that affects the rhythm of heartbeats. Amiodarone is used to help keep the heart beating normally in people with life-threatening heart rhythm disorders of the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart that allow blood to flow out of the heart).
The patients were randomized as follows: control group (n=12) and amiodarone group, (n=12). The amiodarone was changed to 400 mg via nasogastric tube every 8 hours. In the United States, amiodarone is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular dysrhythmias. Because of the reports, the antiviral drugs' labels now recommend against using amiodarone with those hepatitis C drugs.
