Intravenously administered amiodarone causes heart block or bradycardia in 4.9 percent of patients and hypotension in 16 percent. 2 If these conditions occur, infusion of the drug should be discontinued, or the rate of infusion should be reduced.
Do not use amiodarone if you are pregnant. Taking amiodarone during pregnancy can harm the unborn baby or cause thyroid problems or abnormal heartbeats after the baby is born. Amiodarone may also affect the child's growth or development (speech, movement, academic skills) later in life.
