Consumer:Using amiodarone together with isoflurane can increase the effects of isoflurane. Contact your doctor if you experience irregular heartbeats or any other heart problems. You should be closely monitored during surgery and until the effects of anesthesia have worn off. You may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MANAGEMENT: The patient's cardiorespiratory status should be closely monitored during surgery and until the effects of anesthesia have worn off.
