    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug with a complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile.
    • Numerous drug interactions involving amiodarone have been reported, particularly with cardiovascular medications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and summarize the known drug interactions of amiodarone.
    • To highlight the clinical significance of these interactions for patient safety and therapeutic management.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of reported amiodarone drug interactions.
    • Analysis of case reports and clinical studies detailing interactions with cardioactive agents.

    Main Results:

    • Amiodarone affects the pharmacokinetics of warfarin and digoxin, increasing anticoagulant and digoxin effects.

  • Interactions with quinidine, procainamide, propafenone, and mexiletine can lead to torsades de pointes.
  • Co-administration with beta-blockers and calcium antagonists may cause bradycardia and sinus arrest, especially in patients with sick sinus syndrome.
  • Intraoperative hypotension and atropine-resistant bradycardia have been observed with amiodarone use during surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Amiodarone exhibits significant interactions with various cardiovascular drugs, necessitating careful monitoring.
    • Understanding the mechanisms and clinical implications of these amiodarone drug interactions is crucial for optimizing patient care and preventing adverse events.
