Amodarone Side Effects
Were you looking for more information about Amiodarone Side Effects? Amodarone side effects is a common misspelling of amiodarone side effects.
Because amiodarone (Cordarone®, Pacerone®, Nexterone®) can cause potentially dangerous and even life-threatening side effects, it is only reserved for use in people who have not adequately responded to or who cannot tolerate other antiarrhythmia medication. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you develop serious side effects with this product, such as:
- Coughing up blood
- Any type of skin rash
- Fainting.
Fortunately, reactions to this medication are typically mild and easy to treat. However, let your healthcare provider know if you develop anything that "just does not seem right."
