What are the effects of Amiodarone Hydrochloride Tablets?

Amiodarone Hydrochloride Tablets are anti-tachyarrhythmic drugs that can treat atrial arrhythmias, nodal arrhythmias, arrhythmias with W-P-W syndrome, and other diseases. Amiodarone Hydrochloride Tablets are prescription drugs that require doctors to guide medication based on the patient's condition. Patients cannot take medication on their own, as improper use may even cause severe side effects, counteracting the intended effect.

The functions of Amiodarone Hydrochloride Tablets are:

1. Atrial arrhythmias (atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation conversion, and maintenance of sinus rhythm after conversion).

2. Nodal arrhythmias.

3. Ventricular arrhythmias (treatment of life-threatening ventricular premature contractions and ventricular tachycardia, as well as prevention of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation).

4. Arrhythmias with W-P-W syndrome.

Based on its pharmacological characteristics, amiodarone is suitable for the above arrhythmias, especially for patients with organic heart disease (coronary artery insufficiency and heart failure).

Precautions for Amiodarone Hydrochloride Tablets:

During medication, patients' heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse must be closely observed, and hypokalemia should be avoided. The use of amiodarone must be under the guidance of a professional doctor. Patients with hyperthyroidism are prohibited from using amiodarone, as it may worsen hyperthyroid symptoms. Additionally, women during pregnancy and lactation are also prohibited from using it.

Contraindications for Amiodarone Hydrochloride Tablets:

1. Not suitable for sinus bradycardia and sinoatrial block without pacing therapy.

2. Not suitable for sinoatrial node disease without pacing therapy (with the risk of sinus arrest).

3. Not suitable for high-degree atrioventricular block without pacing therapy.

4. Not suitable for hyperthyroidism, as amiodarone may worsen hyperthyroidism.
