Abstract

From our study, it is concluded that amiodarone is a safe and effective anti-arrhythmic drug at lower doses i.e. 200-1100 mg/week. When treated in lower doses of 1400-2800 mg/week, many side effects have been incident. Although these effects are mild and develop only after prolonged usage of the drug, it should be used judiciously.
