Description

Amiodarone HCl 50 mg/mL SDV 10 x 3 mL is a highly concentrated antiarrhythmic medication used in the management of severe cardiac arrhythmias. This formulation of amiodarone, a class III antiarrhythmic agent, is designed to stabilize abnormal heart rhythms by prolonging the action potential duration and refractory period of cardiac tissue.

The product is supplied in a pack of 10 single-dose vials (SDV), each containing 150 mg of amiodarone. The single-dose vials are designed to maintain sterility and minimize contamination risks, making them suitable for use in emergency and critical care settings where precise dosing is crucial.

Amiodarone works by blocking potassium channels involved in cardiac repolarization, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of abnormal electrical impulses. This action helps restore normal heart rhythm and improve cardiac function in patients with life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation.

Proper administration of Amiodarone HCl 50 mg/mL SDV 10 x 3 mL requires adherence to dosing guidelines and monitoring for potential side effects. Common adverse effects include hypotension, bradycardia, and pulmonary toxicity. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to amiodarone and severe sinus node dysfunction.
