Ibutilide Fumarate and Lodrane 12 Hour

• Generic Name: ibutilide
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Corvert

Used for rapid conversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation or flutter to sinus rhythm.

Considered a drug of choice for pharmacologic cardioversion of atrial fibrillation or flutter.

Some experts state that ibutilide also may be used in hemodynamically stable patients with preexcited atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular response (e.g., Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).

Also may be used in selected patients with focal atrial tachycardia.

Atrial arrhythmias that are not of recent onset are less likely to respond to the drug. Efficacy not determined in atrial arrhythmias of >90 days’ duration.
