amiodarone needs to pop its head up from time to time just in case some of us 'need to know' more. This is a very interesting article. Thanks Ross.

Sorry it took me so long. I had put it in hold and haven't been able to get to the box for everything else. Finally did though!

Thanks guys. Very good article.

Don't like this amiodarone, but the docs sure seem to for open heart post op a fib. Hoping Nathan won't be on it long enough for those side effects to take hold!! Hoping on Dec 12th he may get changed to something else.

thing is that there are OTHER meds that can do the job and this med should be used as a last resort. it stays so long in the system and can have dangerous and permanent side effects. Eyes, lungs, etc.
