Amiodarone: Emergency Medications is a complex drug and known as a Class III antiarrhythmic but possesses characteristics of all 4 classes, with effects on sodium, potassium, and calcium channels as well as a-and B- adrenergic blocking properties.
Amiodarone is also known in the ICU & ED environment as Amio. Some common names for Amio is Cordarone and Pacerone.
I personally like to call it the “Big A”.
Amiodarone was first made in 1961 and came into medical use in 62 for chest pain believed to be related to the heart. It was pulled from the market in 67 due to its side effects. In 74 it was found to be useful for the management of arrhythmias and was reintroduced.
