Cordarone 200mg tablets contain the active ingredient amiodarone, which is an antiarrhythmic medication used to treat irregular heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and other serious arrhythmias.
Amiodarone works by slowing the electrical conduction in the heart and restoring a normal heart rhythm. It also has properties that help to stabilize the heart muscle and prevent abnormal rhythms from developing.
Cordarone tablets are usually taken orally, with or without food, as directed by the doctor. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the patient's individual needs and medical condition.
Possible side effects of Cordarone may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, tremors, blurred vision, and skin discoloration. It is important to notify the doctor if any side effects are experienced while taking this medication.
Cordarone tablets should not be taken by patients who are allergic to amiodarone or any other ingredients in the medication. It is also important to inform the doctor of any other medical conditions or medications the patient is taking, as Cordarone can interact with other medications and cause serious side effects.
Regular monitoring of heart function, liver and lung function, and thyroid function is required while taking Cordarone. The medication can also cause photosensitivity, so patients should avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beds while taking this medication.
