1 | irregular heart beat | destoryed vision when through 4 eye prescriptions. Dizziness,went from a waist size 38/39 to 47/48 in 6 months. I extremly tired and slept alot. I took this drug for about 4 months . It took almost 2 years to restore some vision and get my waist size to 40. A friend told me it killed his twin brotherand almost killed him. | Class action law suits are coming to the surface. My Harvard doctor gave me this drug for cardoconverson.This drug is a killer of a person bodly fuctions. | M | 59 | 4 months | 6/16/2005 | 1 | afib | After starting on this drug, every morning my thumbs were numb, very sensitive, and started to crack and split. The only other med I take is atenolol and I've taken that for over 5 yrs w/ no probs. Anyway my thumbs were in bad condition; had to keep them bandaged. They would heal a bit and then split open again. I couldn't think of anything else that was different in my routine, so I have to blame it on the pacerone. Also, I found out this drug builds up in your body over time. | F | 66 | 1 months 1X day | 5/9/2015 | 1 | A-fib | Facial swelling, my lips swelled, tongue swelled, eye lids swelled, swelling under my eye, testicles swelled. Weight gain. Fatigue. The swelling continues but not everyday. | I had a triple bypass 2 months ago. I was put on Amiodarone pacerone for afib. 3 wks ago I had facial swelling, my lips swelled, tongue swelled, eye lids swelled, swelling under my eye, testicles swelled. Weight gain. Fatigue. After 2 trips to the ER and to my primary doctor & my cardiologist. No one could figure it out! My cardiologist took me off amiodarone pacerone. Still have afib. I've been off of it now for 2 wks. Still have swelling but not as much or everyday like I was. I'm told it takes months for it to get it out of your system. I'm currently taking probiotics to rebuild my immune system. I have come to the conclusion the less drugs u are on the better u will feel. I am feeling better not 100% yet but I'm getting there. I would not recommend this drug to anybody. | M | 53 | 5 weeks 200 1X day | 7/10/2016 | 1 | Cabg | Horrible | F | 51 | 2 weeks 1200 2X day | 2/6/2022 |
PACERONE (AMIODARONE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to treat certain types of serious (possibly fatal) irregular heartbeat (such as persistent ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia). It is used to restore normal heart rhythm and maintain a regular, steady heartbeat. Amiodarone is known as an anti-arrhythmic drug. It works by blocking certain electrical signals in the heart that can cause an irregular heartbeat. FDA Approval Date: 1998-04-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
