Amiodar-100 Tablet contains Amiodarone (100 mg) which has the following effects on the body:

• Blocks Electrical Signals: Amiodarone blocks specific electrical signals in the heart that can lead to an irregular heartbeat. This action aids in maintaining a regular heart rhythm.

• Inhibits Potassium Channels: As a class III antiarrhythmic medicine, Amiodarone inhibits the potassium channels in cardiac muscle cells. This prolongs the action potential duration and refractory period, reducing excitability and slowing conduction within the heart.

• Stabilises Heart Rhythm: Because of its effect on potassium channels, Amiodarone helps to stabilise the heart rhythm, making it effective in managing various types of arrhythmias.

• Keep your Amiodar-100 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Be sure to use it before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Engage in regular physical activity: Moderate exercise helps manage conditions like arrhythmias by improving cardiovascular fitness. Just remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.

• Limit caffeine intake: Stimulants such as caffeine can potentially trigger heart palpitations or irregular rhythms. Try substituting caffeine-rich drinks with herbal teas or water for better heart health.
