So why are doctors using this drug so haphazardly. My brother was on this drug with all the side effects and was never seen by the prescribing doctor in 3 years.

This drug is pure poison. I begged my cardiologist to get it out of my IV. When I got home I quit taking it and felt much better. Caused partial paralysis, partial blindness, and other horrible stuff. Luckily, the symptoms subsided when I threw it away.

Glad I read this. It’s been two years since starting Amiodarone (among other medications). I have printed this article and will be having a serious dicussion with my Family Drs. don’t seems to care anymore (It’s all about money) - not proper caring medical treatment.

I have been taking amiodarone since 1992 when my heart rate climbed to 185 while resting.Various drugs were tried without success.Over the years my ECG apparently was judged as abnormal until I managed to improve the control on my diabetes 2 and no longer take insulin (no insulin injections for sixteen months.) Earlier this year I started taking 1000mg of pure fish oil and CoQ10 and after a few months with much reduced blood pressure my arrythmia disappeared which was confirmed by an ECG which is now judged to be normal. I will shortly be visiting the hospital for further checks to see if I can safely stop Amiodarone and possibly digoxin.

i’ve been given amiodarone as a one-time dose during an emergency, runaway event, and beleive it’s helped to save my life.
never even knew it was a drug that was prescribed for long periods. seems like a dangerous drug when taken at those levels.
thank you for all the information.
