CORDARONE INJECTION contains Amiodarone which belongs to the group of medicines called Antiarrhythmics. It is used to manage uneven or fast heartbeats (like atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation), fast heartbeats which may happen suddenly and may be uneven only when other medicines either have not worked or cannot be used.
It also manages Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (unusually fast heartbeats). It is normally only given in a hospital when a quick response is needed or when tablets cannot be given.
Your doctor might want you to keep out of direct sunlight while receiving CORDARONE INJECTION and for a few months after you have finished receiving it. Avoid consumption of alcohol and grapefruit juice during management with CORDARONE INJECTION.
CORDARONE INJECTION is not recommended for use if you have severe breathing and blood circulation problems, slower than usual heartbeat (called ‘sinus bradycardia’) or an illness called sino-atrial heart block.
It is also not recommended if you have other problems with your heartbeat without a pacemaker fitted, are going to have a heart transplantation, have ever had thyroid problems or low blood pressure.
