About Amiodar 100 Tablet
Amiodar 100 Tablet is used to treat Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. It also treats other types of fast or uneven heartbeats known as atrial fibrillation. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is a condition in which an extra electrical pathway between the upper and lower chambers of the heart causes a rapid heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat without coordination.
Amiodar 100 Tablet contains amiodarone, which controls the heart's uneven beating (arrhythmia) or prevents irregular heartbeat. It blocks the potassium channels and reduces the impulses that cause abnormal heartbeat.
Common side effects of Amiodar 100 Tablet are blurred vision or visual halos around light, photosensitivity (redness or rashes on the sun-exposed skin, especially the face), and tremors when you move your arms or legs. Consult your doctor if any of these effects persist or worsen over time.
