Amiodarone, sold under the brand names Cordarone, Nexterone or Pacerone, is a medication used-sometimes in emergency situations-to treat irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias.miodarone may also be prescribed off-label for children to help treat irregular heartbeat. Amiodarone belongs to group of drugs known as anti-arrhythmics. There are four major classes of anti-arrhythmics, and amiodarone belongs to Class III.
The drug prevents the recurrence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and produces a modest reduction of sudden deaths in high-risk patients. Amiodarone is more effective than sotalol or propafenone in preventing recurrent atrial fibrillation in patients for whom a rhythm-control strategy is chosen.he major metabolite of amiodarone is desethylamiodarone (DEA), which is known to have antiarrhythmic properties. Grapefruit juice can inhibit amiodarone metabolism and lead to elevated drug levels, 3 but the impact of this interaction on the long-term efficacy and toxicity of amiodarone is not known.
