Relevance: 06.03.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

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.

Professional:

MONITOR: Amiodarone may increase the pharmacologic effects of isoflurane because of the adrenergic blocking effects of amiodarone. Data have been conflicting; however, the risk of intraoperative complications such as arrhythmias, heart block, or pacemaker dependency may be increased.

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