Amiodarone 150mg/3mL Injection
SKU GME717Product Introduction
Amiodarone 150mg/3mL Injection is an intravenous antiarrhythmic used for selected serious ventricular rhythm disturbances and other specialist-managed arrhythmias according to the hospital protocol. It is distinct from routine oral maintenance treatment.
How to use
Administer intravenously with protocol-specific dilution, compatible equipment and ECG monitoring. Infusion rate and any emergency bolus approach depend on the rhythm and resuscitation setting.
How it works
Effects on potassium, sodium and calcium channels and adrenergic signalling prolong repolarisation and modify conduction through cardiac tissues.
Side effects
Low blood pressure, bradycardia and infusion-site irritation may occur.
Important information
Monitor QT interval, rhythm, liver function and blood pressure. Review other QT-prolonging agents, digoxin and warfarin; interactions can persist because amiodarone has prolonged tissue retention.
Uses
- Selected serious cardiac arrhythmias requiring intravenous treatment
Benefits
Can restore or stabilise rhythm in appropriately selected monitored cardiac emergencies.
Is intravenous use identical to an oral regimen?
No. Indication, rate, formulation and monitoring differ.
Why is the infusion rate important?
Rapid delivery can cause severe hypotension or bradycardia outside specific resuscitation protocols.
Can it interact with warfarin?
Yes. Anticoagulant effect can increase and INR monitoring may need adjustment.
Can it raise digoxin levels?
Yes. The regimen and monitoring often need review.
Does it treat every fast pulse?
No. Rhythm identification and the clinical situation determine suitability.
Why monitor the QT interval?
Its electrical effects and interacting medicines can increase proarrhythmic risk.
Does a painful infusion site need attention?
Yes. Irritation or extravasation should be assessed immediately.
Can effects continue after stopping?
Yes. Amiodarone and its metabolite can remain in tissues for a prolonged period.
