Amiodarone Tablets, 28 Tablets

100mg & 200mg Strengths for Irregular Heart Rhythm (Arrhythmia)

Amiodarone Tablets – 28 Tablets (Available in 100mg and 200mg strengths) are a powerful prescription antiarrhythmic medication used to treat and prevent irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular arrhythmias.

• Managing life-threatening ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation

• Controlling atrial fibrillation or flutter in patients at risk of stroke

• Long-term maintenance to prevent recurrence of arrhythmias

Whether you’re prescribed Amiodarone 100mg or 200mg, both strengths offer flexibility based on your heart condition and treatment plan.
