Cordarone 150 mg/3 ml Injection

About Cordarone 150 mg/3 ml Injection:

Cordarone 150 mg/3 ml Injection is an anti-arrhythmic medication, used to treat various types of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).

Each 3ml of ampoule contains Amiodarone Hydrochloride 150 mg.

Amiodarone is considered a class III antiarrhythmic drug. It blocks potassium currents that cause repolarization of the heart muscle during the third phase of the cardiac action potential. As a result, amiodarone increases the duration of the action potential as well as the effective refractory period for cardiac cells (myocytes). Therefore, cardiac muscle cell excitability is reduced, preventing and treating abnormal heart rhythms.
Amiodarone also interferes with the functioning of beta-adrenergic receptors, sodium channels, and calcium channels.
