Amiodarone is intended for use only in patients with indicated life-threatening arrhythmias because its use is accompanied by substantial toxicity.
Amiodarone can cause pulmonary toxicity (hypersensitivity pneumonitis or interstitial/alveolar pneumonitis) that has resulted in clinically manifest disease at rates as high as 17% in some series of patients. Pulmonary toxicity has been fatal about 10% of the time. Obtain a baseline chest X-ray and pulmonary function tests, including diffusion capacity, when amiodarone therapy is initiated. Repeat history, physical exam, and chest X-ray every 3 to 6 months.
Amiodarone can cause hepatotoxicity, which can be fatal. Obtain baseline and periodic liver transaminases and discontinue or reduce dose if the increase exceeds 3 times normal or doubles in a patient with an elevated baseline. Discontinue amiodarone if the patient experiences signs or symptoms of clinical liver injury.
Amiodarone can exacerbate arrhythmias. Initiate amiodarone in a clinical setting where continuous ECGs and cardiac resuscitation are available.
Supraventricular arrhythmias:
Note: Amiodarone is a preferred antiarrhythmic for patients with structural heart disease.
Atrial fibrillation:
Pharmacologic cardioversion (off-label use) (alternative agent):
Note: Although amiodarone may slow ventricular response, the use of amiodarone (both IV and oral) is not particularly effective for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm as compared to other antiarrhythmics (eg, flecainide). Various IV and oral regimens have been described and may be used clinically. The more common regimens utilized include:
IV: 150 mg over 10 to 30 minutes or 300 mg over 60 minutes, then 1 mg/minute for 6 hours, then 0.5 mg/minute for 18 hours. Continue for a total loading dose of up to 10 g; may finish load with oral dosing. Change to oral maintenance dose when clinically indicated (Ref).
Oral: 400 mg every 8 to 24 hours for a total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g (total of IV plus oral doses), then change to a maintenance dose (Ref). Note: May initiate loading regimen 2 to 6 weeks prior to direct current cardioversion to reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence (Ref). Also see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration."
Maintenance of sinus rhythm (off-label use): Oral: 100 to 200 mg once daily (Ref). Use the lower maintenance dose for older patients or patients with low body mass (Ref).
Prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter associated with cardiothoracic surgery (off-label use) (alternative agent):
Note: In patients who cannot receive a beta-blocker, amiodarone may be used. A variety of regimens have been used in clinical trials, including oral and IV regimens:
IV only:
Preoperative regimen: 150 mg once, followed by 0.4 mg/kg/hour (~0.5 mg/minute for a 70 kg patient) for 3 days prior to surgery and for 5 days postoperatively (Ref).
Postoperative regimen: Starting at postoperative recovery: 1 g infused over 24 hours for 2 days (Ref).
IV followed by Oral:
Postoperative regimen: IV: Starting 6 hours postoperatively: 1,050 mg IV loading dose over 24 hours, followed by 400 mg orally 3 times daily on postop days 1 through 4 (Ref).
Oral only: 200 mg 3 times daily for 7 days prior to surgery, followed by 200 mg once daily until hospital discharge (Ref).
Rate control (alternative agent) (off-label use):
Note: IV amiodarone may be considered for acute rate control in patients who are critically ill and/or in decompensated heart failure when beta blockers and nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are ineffective or contraindicated due to their hemodynamic effects (Ref).
IV: 150 or 300 mg over 1 hour followed by 10 to 50 mg/hour over 24 hours (Ref) or 150 mg over at least 10 to 30 minutes, then 1 mg/minute for 6 hours, then 0.5 mg/minute for 18 hours; administer repeat boluses of 150 mg over 10 to 30 minutes as needed but no more than 8 additional boluses should be administered in any 24-hour period (Ref). Note: Mean daily doses >2.1 g/day have been associated with hypotension.
Oral: 400 mg every 8 to 24 hours for a total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g (total of IV plus oral doses), then change to a maintenance dose (Ref); usual maintenance dose: 100 to 200 mg once daily (Ref). Also see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration."
Supraventricular tachycardia (eg, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, focal atrial tachycardia) (off-label use):
Note: Amiodarone is usually reserved for use when other therapies have failed or are contraindicated. In general, most patients do not require long-term treatment with antiarrhythmic therapy.
Pharmacologic cardioversion:
IV: 150 mg over 10 minutes, followed by 1 mg/minute for 6 hours, then 0.5 mg/minute for 18 hours or transition to oral dosing (Ref).
Oral : 400 to 600 mg daily in divided doses for 2 to 4 weeks; in an inpatient monitored setting, initial oral doses up to 1.2 g daily in divided doses may be considered; administer a total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g (total of IV plus oral doses) then transition to a maintenance dose (Ref); usual maintenance dose: 100 to 200 mg once daily (Ref). Also see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration."
Ventricular arrhythmias:
Electrical storm and incessant ventricular tachycardia, hemodynamically stable (off-label use):
IV: 150 mg over 10 minutes (may repeat if necessary), followed by 1 mg/minute IV infusion for 6 hours, then 0.5 mg/minute for 18 additional hours or until switched to oral therapy. Note: Coadministration with a beta-blocker (eg, propranolol) is recommended (Ref).
Oral (following IV therapy): 400 mg every 8 to 12 hours for 1 to 2 weeks (loading dose of ~6 to 10 g [total of IV plus oral doses]), followed by 200 to 400 mg once daily (Ref). Also see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration."
Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, symptomatic (off-label use):
Note: Consider addition of a beta-blocker or nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (eg, diltiazem) before starting antiarrhythmic therapy (Ref).
Oral: 400 mg every 8 to 12 hours for 1 to 2 weeks (total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g), followed by 200 to 400 mg once daily (Ref). A more gradual oral loading regimen of 200 mg twice daily for the first 4 weeks, followed by 200 mg once daily may also be considered (Ref).
Prevention of implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks (off-label use):
Note: Antiarrhythmic therapy for this indication has not been shown to reduce mortality, but may improve quality of life by reducing frequency of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks. Amiodarone is the preferred antiarrhythmic for this use (Ref).
Oral: 400 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, followed by 400 mg once daily for 4 weeks, then 200 mg once daily in combination with a beta-blocker (Ref) or 400 mg every 8 to 24 hours for a total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g, then 200 to 400 mg once daily (Ref).
Primary prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias (off-label use):
Note: Consider addition of a beta-blocker before starting antiarrhythmic therapy. For patients eligible for an ICD with left ventricular dysfunction, but who cannot or refuse to have ICD implantation, amiodarone can be utilized (Ref).
Oral: 400 mg every 8 to 24 hours for 1 to 2 weeks for a total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g, then a maintenance dose of 200 to 400 mg once daily (Ref).
Secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias (eg, ventricular fibrillation or hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia):
Note: ICD implantation is preferred over antiarrhythmic therapy. In patients who do not meet ICD implant criteria, have contraindications, or refuse ICD implantation, antiarrhythmics can be utilized. Beta-blockers are recommended prior to or at the time of antiarrhythmic therapy initiation (Ref).
Oral: 400 mg every 8 to 24 hours for 1 to 2 weeks (loading dose of ~6 to 10 g [total of IV plus oral doses]), followed by a maintenance dose of 200 to 400 mg once daily (Ref). Also see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration."
Sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (unresponsive to CPR, defibrillation, and epinephrine):
IV push, Intraosseous (IO): Initial: 300 mg (undiluted) rapid bolus; if ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia continues after subsequent defibrillation attempt or reoccurs after initially achieving return of spontaneous circulation, administer supplemental dose of 150 mg (Ref).
Upon return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC): Continuous IV infusion: 1 mg/minute for 6 hours, then 0.5 mg/minute for 18 hours or until switched to oral therapy for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias (Ref). Note: If amiodarone was not given during resuscitation but ROSC is achieved, some experts recommend empiric antiarrhythmic therapy with amiodarone (Ref).
Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, hemodynamically stable (off-label use):
IV: 150 mg over 10 minutes, then 1 mg/minute for 6 hours, followed by 0.5 mg/minute for at least 18 hours or until switched to an oral maintenance regimen (see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration").
Breakthrough hemodynamically stable ventricular tachycardia: IV: 150 mg over 10 minutes (mean daily doses >2.1 g/day have been associated with hypotension).
Oral (following IV therapy): 400 mg every 8 to 24 hours for 1 to 2 weeks (loading dose of ~6 to 10 g [total of IV plus oral doses]), followed by a maintenance dose of 200 to 400 mg once daily (Ref); if arrhythmia remains controlled on 200 mg once daily, consider reducing dose further to 100 mg once daily to reduce the risk of adverse effects (Ref). Also see "Switching to Oral Amiodarone After IV Administration."
Ventricular premature beats, symptomatic (off-label use):
Note: For patients who are refractory to beta-blocker or nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker therapy (eg, diltiazem) and cannot take class Ic antiarrhythmic agents (Ref).
Oral: 400 mg every 8 to 12 hours for 1 to 2 weeks (total loading dose of ~6 to 10 g), then when adequate control is achieved, decrease to 200 to 400 mg once daily; use lowest effective dose to minimize adverse effects (eg, may consider 100 mg once daily) (Ref).
Switching to oral amiodarone after IV administration: Use the following as a guide:
<1-week IV infusion: 400 to 1,200 mg daily in divided doses until loading dose of ~6 to 10 g (total of IV plus oral doses) has been administered, then start maintenance dose of 100 to 400 mg once daily (depending on indication).
1- to 2-week IV infusion: 400 to 800 mg daily in divided doses until loading dose of ~6 to 10 g (total of IV plus oral doses) has been administered, then start maintenance dose of 100 to 400 mg once daily (depending on indication).
>2-week IV infusion: 100 to 400 mg once daily (depending on indication) (Ref).
Note: Conversion from IV to oral therapy has not been formally evaluated. Some experts recommend a 1- to 2-day overlap when converting from IV to oral therapy, especially when treating ventricular arrhythmias (Ref).
Switching to IV amiodarone after oral administration: Due to the long half-life, replacement therapy may not be necessary when oral maintenance doses are temporarily discontinued for only a few days. If oral maintenance doses must be withheld for ≥5 to 7 days, may consider administering ~50% (range of 30% to 70%) of the oral daily dose IV (based on bioavailability) as a slow bolus infusion once daily (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
The renal dosing recommendations are based upon the best available evidence and clinical expertise. Senior Editorial Team: Bruce Mueller, PharmD, FCCP, FASN, FNKF; Jason A. Roberts, PhD, BPharm (Hons), B App Sc, FSHP, FISAC; Michael Heung, MD, MS.
Altered kidney function: Mild to severe impairment: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): Poorly dialyzed (amiodarone and N-desethylamiodarone): No supplemental dose or dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
Peritoneal dialysis: Poorly dialyzed (amiodarone and N-desethylamiodarone): No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
CRRT: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
PIRRT (eg, sustained, low-efficiency diafiltration): No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
Dosage adjustment is probably necessary in substantial hepatic impairment. No specific guidelines available. If hepatic enzymes exceed 3 times normal or double in a patient with an elevated baseline, consider decreasing the dose or discontinuing amiodarone.
Refer to adult dosing. Avoid as first-line therapy for atrial fibrillation unless the patient has heart failure or substantial left ventricular hypertrophy (Ref). Dose selection should be cautious, at low end of dosage range, and titration should be slower to evaluate response. Although not supported by clinical evidence, a maintenance dose of 100 mg daily is commonly used, especially for elderly patients or patients with low body mass (Ref).
(For additional information see "Amiodarone: Pediatric drug information")
Perfusing tachycardias: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: IV, Intraosseous: Loading dose: 5 mg/kg (maximum dose: 300 mg/dose) over 20 to 60 minutes; may repeat twice up to maximum total dose of 15 mg/kg during acute treatment (Ref).
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), shock-refractory: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: IV, Intraosseous: 5 mg/kg (maximum dose: 300 mg/dose) rapid bolus; may repeat twice up to a maximum total dose of 15 mg/kg during acute treatment (Ref).
Tachyarrhythmia, including junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET), paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT): Limited data available:
Infants, Children, and Adolescents:
Oral: Loading dose: 10 to 15 mg/kg/day in 1 to 2 divided doses/day for 4 to 14 days or until adequate control of arrhythmia or prominent adverse effects occur; dosage should then be reduced to 5 mg/kg/day given once daily for several weeks; if arrhythmia does not recur, reduce to lowest effective dosage possible; usual daily minimal dose: 2.5 mg/kg/day; maintenance doses may be given for 5 of 7 days/week.
Note: For infants, some have suggested BSA-directed dosing: Loading dose: 600 to 800 mg/1.73 m2/day in 1 to 2 divided doses (equivalent to 347 to 462 mg/m2/day); maintenance dose: 200 to 400 mg/1.73 m2/day once daily (equivalent to 116 to 231 mg/m2/day) (Ref).
Note: Prolongation of the corrected QT interval was more likely in infants <9 months of age who received higher loading doses (20 mg/kg/day vs 10 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses) (n=50; mean age: 1 ± 1.5 months) (Ref).
IV: Loading dose: 5 mg/kg (maximum dose: 300 mg/dose) given over 60 minutes; Note: Most studies used bolus infusion time of 60 minutes to avoid hypotension; may repeat initial loading dose to a maximum total initial load: 10 mg/kg; do not exceed total daily bolus of 15 mg/kg/day (Ref).
Note: Dividing the 5 mg/kg loading dose into 1 mg/kg aliquots (each administered over 5 to 10 minutes) has been used; an additional 1 to 5 mg/kg loading dose was given in the same manner, if needed, after 30 minutes (Ref).
Continuous IV infusion (if needed); Note: Reported dosing units for regimens are variable (mcg/kg/minute and mg/kg/day); use caution to ensure appropriate dose and dosing units are used; taper infusion as soon as clinically possible and switch to oral therapy if necessary.
Dosing based on mcg/kg/minute: Initial: 5 mcg/kg/minute; increase incrementally as clinically needed; usual required dose: 10 mcg/kg/minute; range: 5 to 15 mcg/kg/minute; maximum daily dose: 2,200 mg/day (Ref).
Dosing based on mg/kg/day: Initial: 10 mg/kg/day; increase incrementally as clinically needed; range: 10 to 20 mg/kg/day; maximum daily dose: 2,200 mg/day (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; pharmacokinetic data implies that no dosage adjustment would be necessary. The commercially available premix injectable solution contains the excipient cyclodextrin which may accumulate in patients with renal insufficiency; the clinical significance of this finding is unknown (Ref); monitor patients closely. Close monitoring is recommended in adults with renal abnormalities who are elderly and/or have left ventricular dysfunction.
Hemodialysis: Not dialyzable; supplemental dose is not necessary (Ref)
Peritoneal dialysis: Not dialyzable; supplemental dose is not necessary (Ref)
Baseline: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling. Although no dosage recommendations exist for adults with hepatic abnormalities, close monitoring is recommended in the elderly and those with left ventricular dysfunction.
Hepatoxicity during therapy: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; based on experience in adult patients, dosage adjustment or discontinuation is suggested when hepatic enzymes exceed 3 times normal or double in a patient with an elevated baseline.
Amiodarone may cause a range of effects on conduction and/or blood pressure. Acute hemodynamic changes (bradycardia and hypotension) may occur, particularly with IV administration. A variety of longer-term changes in conduction/heart rate are associated with amiodarone use, most commonly bradycardia, even in patients receiving low-dose chronic oral therapy. Significant disruptions in initiation and conduction, including cases of atrioventricular block, as well as sinoatrial arrest have been reported in adult and pediatric patients (Ref). Cardiac conduction disorder (enhanced accessory pathway conduction) has also been reported (Ref).
Mechanism: Dose-related; related to pharmacologic action (ie, beta-blocking and calcium channel blocking activity are responsible for bradycardia and sinoatrial blockade as well as some of the hypotensive effects) (Ref). Formulation-related; acute hypotension with rapid IV administration has been attributed in part to polysorbate 80 (Ref).
Onset: Acute hypotension during IV administration: Rapid; generally has an onset within 90 minutes but may occur up to 12 hours after initiation (Ref). Other hypotensive adverse reactions: Intermediate; generally reported in the first 12 months of therapy, while bradycardia may develop over months to years (Ref).
Risk factors:
Acute hypotension:
• Age >65 years with history of myocardial infarction (Ref)
• Pediatric patients: Age <3 months; baseline blood pressure below the third percentile for age and height; rapid IV bolus administration (ie, ≤20 minutes) (Ref)
• Formulations containing polysorbate 80 (Ref)
Drug-induced phospholipidosis is a common finding, reflecting a chemical reaction between amiodarone and phospholipids (amiodarone is a potent inhibitor of phospholipase A), but alone this is not indicative of hepatic impairment. Severe, acute hepatotoxicity has been associated with IV administration (Ref). Chronic toxicity may take the form of micronodular hepatic cirrhosis, hepatic fibrosis, or (less commonly) cholestasis (Ref). Hepatotoxicity may be irreversible in some cases (Ref).
Mechanism:
Acute toxicity: Idiosyncratic, immunologic, and formulation-related (ie, polysorbate 80) mechanisms have been proposed (Ref).
Chronic toxicity: Idiosyncratic; may be related to mitochondrial dysfunction and free-radical induced injury (Ref).
Onset:
Acute toxicity following IV administration: Rapid; may occur within 24 hours of initiation (Ref).
Chronic toxicity: Delayed; most cases occur after at least a year of therapy (Ref).
Risk factors:
Acute toxicity:
• High doses (Ref)
• IV administration (Ref)
• Hepatic congestion (Ref)
Chronic toxicity:
• Cumulative dose (potential risk factor) (Ref)
Amiodarone may exacerbate arrhythmias; also associated with new-onset ventricular tachycardia, and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with prolonged QT interval on ECG and torsades de pointes (TdP). However, relative to other agents in this class, amiodarone is associated with relatively low rates of proarrhythmia (specifically a low rate of TdP).
Mechanism: Exhibits multiple effects on cardiac conduction, resulting in a net increase in the QTc interval, consistent with type III antiarrhythmic activity (Ref). Several electrophysiologic properties may contribute to the relative lack of proarrhythmia, including a lack of reverse use dependence, concurrent blockade of the L-type calcium channels, and less QT dispersion (heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization) (Ref). May increase resistance to cardioversion in some patients (Ref). The major metabolite (desethylamiodarone) increases defibrillation threshold in a dose-dependent fashion; this effect is seen with monophasic and biphasic waveforms (Ref).
Onset: Intermediate; generally proarrhythmic events occur sporadically later in therapy (Ref). Rare cases have been reported after short-term, low-dose therapy (200 mg/day for 4 to 5 days) (Ref).
Risk factors:
• Concurrent administration of multiple medications (≥2) that prolong the QT interval or medications with drug interactions that increase serum concentrations of QT-prolonging medications (Ref)
• Electrolyte disturbances (hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia) (Ref)
• Females (Ref)
• In the treatment of atrial fibrillation, structural heart disease, and concurrent use of medications to control heart rate (beta-blockers and digitalis) were noted to increase the risk of TdP following an IV loading dose (Ref)
Pulmonary toxicity may occur with amiodarone use and include a variety of clinical syndromes which may be categorized by onset. Acute events include pneumonitis, pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pulmonary adverse reactions associated with longer-term therapy (subacute or chronic) include chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, chronic organizing pneumonia, acute fibrinous organizing pneumonia, and pulmonary fibrosis (Ref).
Mechanism:
Acute toxicity:
Non-dose-related; idiosyncratic. Related to production of superoxide radicals and release of active iodide species (Ref). Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage may occur in patients with preexisting immune dysfunction represented by autoantibodies (Ref). Some cases of acute toxicity may represent an acute vasculitis, possibly related to autoantibodies (Ref).
Chronic toxicity: More significant pulmonary toxicity, primarily pulmonary fibrosis, is mediated by a combination of direct toxicity to specific pulmonary cells, immune activation, and activation of angiotensin (Ref).
Onset:
Acute toxicity: Intermediate; may occur as early as 2 days to 2 weeks (Ref).
Chronic toxicity: Delayed; pulmonary fibrosis is usually identified after months to years of therapy (Ref).
Risk factors:
Acute toxicity:
• Cardiothoracic surgery (Ref)
• Exposure to a high inspiratory fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) (Ref)
• Pulmonary angiography (Ref)
Chronic toxicity:
• Daily and cumulative doses (Ref)
• Chronic kidney disease (Ref)
• Older adults (particularly >60 years of age) (Ref)
• Preexisting lung disease/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Ref)
Amiodarone is associated with complex effects on thyroid function, resulting in either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Most euthyroid patients exhibit transient abnormalities of thyroid tests without overt symptoms and return to a baseline in 3 to 6 months (Ref). In a subset of patients, often in those with underlying thyroid disease, these effects may result in clinical thyroid disease, including rare cases of thyrotoxicosis, thyroid storm, or myxedema (including myxedema coma) (Ref). Hypothyroidism (sometimes severe) may be subsequent to resolution of preceding amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism.
Mechanism: Dose-related. Effects may be considered in two categories: Those which are mediated by the high iodine content or those which are related to other effects of amiodarone.
Hyperthyroidism: Two types of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis are generally recognized: Type 1 occurs in patients with underlying thyroid pathology (autonomous nodular goiter or Graves' disease) and is associated with increased synthesis of T4 and T3 in the thyroid gland (Ref). The high iodine content of amiodarone appears to be an important factor in loss of regulation in these susceptible individuals (Ref). Type 2 results from a subacute thyroiditis, causing release of thyroid hormones into the circulation without an increase in synthesis (Ref). Thyroiditis is considered a direct effect of amiodarone and not related to iodine content (Ref).
Hypothyroidism : Amiodarone inhibits the conversion of T4 to T3 (de-iodination), decreases binding of T3 to its nuclear receptor, and may exert direct toxicity on thyroid follicular cells (thyroiditis) (Ref).
Onset: Delayed; most cases of hyperthyroidism occur between 3 months and 4 years of therapy (Ref). In an evaluation of FDA Adverse Reactions Reporting data, median time to diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is 720 days (range: 225 to 1,145 days) (Ref). Most cases of hypothyroidism occur within the first 6 to 7 months of therapy (Ref). In a pediatric series, the majority of thyroid dysfunction was noted within 35 days of amiodarone initiation (Ref).
Risk factors:
• Dietary iodine intake (Ref)
• Thyroid autoantibodies (hypothyroidism) (Ref)
• Thyroid disease (including Graves’ disease or preexisting multinodular goiter) (Ref)

This does not include most patients with allergic reactions to shellfish or contrast media, which are usually not due to iodine itself (Beall 2007; Brouse 2005; Lakshmanadoss 2012). However, exercise caution in patients with severe allergies to shellfish or contrast media (Brouse 2005).
Canadian labeling (oral formulation): Additional contraindications (not in US labeling): Evidence of hepatitis; pulmonary interstitial abnormalities; thyroid dysfunction.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Extravasation: May be a vesicant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to infusion. Avoid extravasation.
• Ocular effects: Regular ophthalmic examination (including slit lamp and fundoscopy) is recommended. May cause optic neuropathy and/or optic neuritis resulting in visual impairment (peripheral vision loss, changes in acuity) at any time during therapy; permanent blindness has occurred. If symptoms of optic neuropathy and/or optic neuritis occur, prompt ophthalmic evaluation is recommended. If diagnosis of optic neuropathy and/or optic neuritis is confirmed, reevaluate amiodarone therapy. Corneal microdeposits occur in a majority of adults and may cause visual disturbances in up to 10% of patients (blurred vision, halos); asymptomatic microdeposits may be reversible and are not generally considered a reason to discontinue treatment. Corneal refractive laser surgery is generally contraindicated in amiodarone users (from manufacturers of surgical devices).
• Photosensitivity: Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight; may cause photosensitivity. During long-term treatment, a blue-gray discoloration of exposed skin may occur; risk increased in patients with fair complexion or excessive sun exposure; may be related to cumulative dose and duration of therapy.
Disease-related concerns:
• Arrhythmias: Appropriate use: The 2015 ACLS guidelines recommend the consideration of IV amiodarone as the preferred antiarrhythmic for the treatment of pulseless ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation unresponsive to CPR, defibrillation, and vasopressor therapy (AHA [Link 2015]). In patients with non-life-threatening arrhythmias (eg, atrial fibrillation), amiodarone should be used only if the use of other antiarrhythmics has proven ineffective or are contraindicated.
• Cardiac devices (eg, implanted defibrillators, pacemakers): Chronic administration of antiarrhythmic drugs may affect defibrillation or pacing thresholds. Assess when initiating amiodarone and during therapy.
• Electrolyte imbalance: Correct electrolyte disturbances, especially hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypocalcemia, prior to use and throughout therapy.
• Myocardial infarction: In the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI), beta-blocker therapy should be initiated even though concomitant amiodarone therapy provides beta-blockade. In the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), post-MI patients with asymptomatic, nonlife-threatening ventricular arrhythmias did not benefit and may have been harmed by attempts to suppress arrhythmia with flecainide or encainide. Although use of amiodarone post-MI was not associated with an increase in mortality in 2 trials, antiarrhythmic agents should be reserved for patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
Special populations:
• Surgical patients: Use caution and close perioperative monitoring in surgical patients; may enhance myocardial depressant and conduction effects of halogenated inhalational anesthetics; adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been reported postoperatively (fatal in rare cases). Hypotension upon discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass during open-heart surgery have been reported (rare); relationship to amiodarone is unknown.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity ("gasping syndrome") in neonates; the "gasping syndrome" consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension, and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC 1982); some data suggest that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol with caution in neonates. See manufacturer's labeling.
• Commercially prepared premixed infusion: Contains the excipient cyclodextrin (sulfobutyl ether beta-cyclodextrin), which may accumulate in patients with renal insufficiency, although the clinical significance of this finding is uncertain (Luke 2010).
• Long-term use: There has been limited experience in patients receiving IV amiodarone for >3 weeks.
• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling. Commercially prepared premixed amiodarone solutions do not contain polysorbate 80 and may have a lower incidence of hypotension.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Discontinuation of therapy: Patients may still be at risk for amiodarone-related adverse reactions or drug interactions after the drug has been discontinued. The pharmacokinetics are complex (due to prolonged duration of action and half-life) and difficult to predict.
Vials for injection contain benzyl alcohol which has been associated with “gasping syndrome” in neonates. Commercially-prepared premixed solutions do not contain benzyl alcohol.

Solution, Intravenous:
Generic: 50 mg/mL (3 mL, 9 mL, 18 mL)
Solution, Intravenous, as hydrochloride:
Generic: 150 mg/3 mL (3 mL)
Tablet, Oral, as hydrochloride:
Generic: 100 mg, 200 mg
Oral: Administer consistently with regard to meals. Take in divided doses with meals if GI upset occurs or if taking large daily dose (≥1,000 mg). If GI intolerance occurs with single-dose therapy, use twice daily dosing.
IV: For infusions >1 hour, use concentrations ≤2 mg/mL unless a central venous catheter is used; commercially prepared premixed solutions in concentrations of 1.5 mg/mL and 1.8 mg/mL are available. Use only volumetric infusion pump; use of drop counting may lead to underdosage. Administer through an IV line located as centrally as possible. For peripheral infusions, an in-line filter has been recommended during administration to reduce the incidence of phlebitis (consult individual institutional policies and procedures). During pulseless VT/VF, administering undiluted is preferred (Ref). The Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care (Ref) and the ACLS guidelines do not make any specific recommendations regarding dilution of amiodarone in this setting.
Adjust administration rate to urgency (give more slowly when perfusing arrhythmia present). Slow the infusion rate if hypotension or bradycardia develops. Infusions >2 hours must be administered in a non-PVC container (eg, glass or polyolefin). PVC tubing is recommended for administration regardless of infusion duration. Incompatible with heparin; flush with saline prior to and following infusion. Note: IV administration at lower flow rates (potentially associated with use in pediatrics) and higher concentrations than recommended may result in leaching of plasticizers (DEHP) from intravenous tubing. DEHP may adversely affect male reproductive tract development. Alternative means of dosing and administration (1 mg/kg aliquots) may need to be considered.
May be a vesicant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during IV infusion. Avoid extravasation.
Extravasation management: If extravasation occurs, stop infusion immediately; leave needle/cannula in place temporarily but do NOT flush the line; gently aspirate extravasated solution, then remove needle/cannula; elevate extremity; apply dry warm compresses; initiate hyaluronidase antidote for refractory cases in addition to supportive management (Ref).
Hyaluronidase: Intradermal or SUBQ: Inject a total of 1 mL (15 units/mL) as 5 separate 0.2 mL injections (using a tuberculin syringe) around the site of extravasation; if IV catheter remains in place, administer IV through the infiltrated catheter; may repeat in 30 to 60 minutes if no resolution (Ref).
Oral: Administer at same time in relation to meals; do not administer with grapefruit juice. In adults, may administer in divided doses with meals if GI upset occurs or if taking large daily dose.
IV: Adjust administration rate to patient's clinical condition and urgency; give slowly to patients who have a pulse (ie, perfusing arrhythmia). With perfusing arrhythmias (eg, atrial fibrillation, stable ventricular tachycardia), do not exceed recommended IV concentrations or rates of infusion listed below (severe hepatic toxicity may occur). Slow the infusion rate if hypotension or bradycardia develops. An in-line filter has been recommended during administration to reduce the incidence of phlebitis associated with dilution-induced precipitation (consult individual institutional policies and procedures) (Ref).
May be a vesicant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during IV infusion. Avoid extravasation. If extravasation occurs, stop infusion immediately and disconnect (leave needle/cannula in place); gently aspirate extravasated solution (do NOT flush the line); initiate hyaluronidase antidote for refractory cases (see Management of Drug Extravasations for more details); remove needle/cannula; apply dry warm compresses (Ref); elevate extremity.
Pulseless VT or VF: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Administer via rapid IV bolus; adult data in this setting suggest administration of undiluted drug may be preferred (Ref). Note: PALS guidelines (Ref) do not specify dilution of bolus dose and The Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care (Ref) and the ACLS guidelines do not make any specific recommendations regarding dilution of amiodarone in this setting.
Perfusing arrhythmias: Information based on adult data: Injection must be diluted before IV use. Administer via central venous catheter, if possible; increased phlebitis may occur with peripheral infusions >3 mg/mL in D5W; the use of a central venous catheter with concentrations >2 mg/mL for infusions >1 hour is recommended. Must be infused via volumetric infusion device; drop size of IV solution may be reduced and underdosage may occur if drop counter-infusion sets are used. PVC tubing is recommended for administration regardless of infusion duration. Incompatible with heparin; flush with saline prior to and following infusion. Note: IV administration at lower flow rates (potentially associated with use in pediatrics) and higher concentrations than recommended may result in leaching of plasticizers (DEHP) from intravenous tubing. DEHP may adversely affect male reproductive tract development. Alternative means of dosing and administration (1 mg/kg aliquots) may need to be considered.
Neonates: Administer loading dose over 60 minutes; may be followed by continuous infusion (Ref).
Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Administer loading dose over 20 to 60 minutes (Ref); may be followed by continuous IV infusion
Note: Premixed solutions available.
IV bolus or infusion: 1.5 mg/mL (eg, 150 mg in 100 mL of D5W) or 1.8 mg/mL (eg, 360 mg in 200 mL of D5W).
Note: Premixed solutions available.
IV infusion: 1.8 mg/mL

Food increases the rate and extent of absorption of amiodarone.

Management: Take consistently with regard to meals; grapefruit juice should be avoided during therapy.
Amiodarone and the active metabolite, N-desethylamiodarone, cross the placenta (Plomp 1992).
In utero exposure may cause fetal harm. Reported risks include neonatal bradycardia, QT prolongation, and periodic ventricular extrasystoles; neonatal hypothyroidism (with or without goiter); neonatal hyperthyroxinemia; neurodevelopmental abnormalities independent of thyroid function; jerk nystagmus with synchronous head titubation; fetal growth retardation; and/or premature birth.
Oral or IV amiodarone should be used in pregnancy only to treat arrhythmias refractory to other treatments or when other treatments are contraindicated (ACC/AHA/HRS [Page 2015]).
Amiodarone (administered either maternally or directly to the fetus) may be considered for the in utero management of fetal atrial flutter and in life-threatening cases of sustained fetal supraventricular tachycardia refractory to first and second line agents, but because of potential toxicity, risks and benefits should be assessed (AHA [Donofrio 2014]; Kang 2015).
If in utero exposure occurs, newborns should be monitored for thyroid disorders and cardiac arrhythmias.
Amiodarone and its active metabolite are present in breast milk.
Actual concentrations of amiodarone and the active metabolite in breast milk vary greatly. The relative infant dose (RID) of amiodarone is reported by the manufacturer to be between 3.5% and 45% of the weight-adjusted maternal dose.
In general, breastfeeding is considered acceptable when the RID of a medication is <10%; when the RID is >25% breastfeeding should generally be avoided (Anderson 2016; Ito 2000).
Hypothyroidism and bradycardia have been observed in breastfed infants. The manufacturer does not recommend breastfeeding during therapy. If the mother wishes to breastfeed, thyroid function and plasma concentrations of amiodarone in the infant should be monitored (Ito 2000). Due to the long half-life, amiodarone and the metabolite may be present in breast milk for weeks following discontinuation of maternal therapy (Hall 2003; Javot 2018; Khurana 2014).
Take consistently with regard to meals. Amiodarone is a potential source of large amounts of inorganic iodine; ~3 mg of inorganic iodine per 100 mg of amiodarone is released into the systemic circulation. Recommended daily allowance for iodine in adults is 150 mcg.
Grapefruit juice is not recommended.
BP, heart rate (ECG) and rhythm throughout therapy; history and physical exam every 3 to 6 months; assess patient for signs of lethargy, edema of the hands or feet, weight loss, and pulmonary toxicity (baseline pulmonary function tests and chest X-ray; continue monitoring chest X-ray every 3 to 6 months during therapy); LFTs (baseline and semiannually), signs or symptoms of clinical liver injury; monitor serum electrolytes, especially potassium and magnesium. Assess thyroid function tests before initiation of treatment and then periodically thereafter (some experts suggest every 3 to 6 months; particularly in elderly patients and in patients with underlying thyroid dysfunction). If signs or symptoms of thyroid disease or arrhythmia breakthrough/exacerbation occur then immediate re-evaluation is necessary. Amiodarone partially inhibits the peripheral conversion of T4 to T3; serum T4 and reverse T3 concentrations may be increased and serum T3 may be decreased; most patients remain clinically euthyroid; however, clinical hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may occur (Epstein 2016).
Perform regular ophthalmic exams (Epstein 2016).
Patients with implantable cardiac devices: Monitor pacing or defibrillation thresholds with initiation of amiodarone and during treatment (Epstein 2016).
Consult individual institutional policies and procedures.
Adults: Therapeutic: 0.5 to 2.5 mg/L (SI: 1 to 4 micromole/L) (parent); desethyl metabolite is active and is present in equal concentration to parent drug.

Onset of action: Oral: 2 days to 3 weeks; IV: (electrophysiologic effects) within hours; Antiarrhythmic effects: 2 to 3 days to 1 to 3 weeks; mean onset of effect may be shorter in children vs adults and in patients receiving IV loading doses
Peak effect: 1 week to 5 months
Duration after discontinuing therapy: Variable, 2 weeks to months: Children: less than a few weeks; Adults: Several months
Note: Duration after discontinuation may be shorter in children than adults
Absorption: Oral: Slow and variable
Distribution:
IV: Rapid redistribution with a decrease to 10% of peak values within 30 to 45 minutes after completion of infusion
IV single dose: Vdss: Mean range: 40 to 84 L/kg
Oral: Vd: 66 L/kg (range: 18 to 148 L/kg)
Protein binding: >96%
Metabolism: Hepatic via CYP2C8 and 3A4 to active N-desethylamiodarone metabolite; possible enterohepatic recirculation
Bioavailability: Oral: ~50% (range: 35% to 65%)
Half-life elimination: Note: Half-life is shortened in children vs adults
Amiodarone:
Single dose: 58 days (range: 15 to 142 days)
Oral chronic therapy: Mean range: 40 to 55 days (range: 26 to 107 days)
IV single dose: Mean range: 9 to 36 days
N-desethylamiodarone (active metabolite):
Single dose: 36 days (range: 14 to 75 days)
Oral chronic therapy: 61 days
IV single dose: Mean range: 9 to 30 days
Time to peak, serum: Oral: 3 to 7 hours
Excretion: Feces; urine (<1% as unchanged drug)
Hepatic function impairment: After a single dose of amiodarone injection in cirrhotic patients, Cmax was significantly lower and average concentration values were seen for desethylamiodarone, but mean amiodarone levels were unchanged.
Older adult: Clearance is lower and half-life is increased.
