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.

Using amiodarone together with propofol may increase the risk of cardiovascular complications such as irregular heart rhythm, cardiac conduction abnormalities, and the need for a pacemaker. Close monitoring is required during surgery and until the effects of anesthesia have worn off. 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.

MONITOR: Amiodarone may increase the effect of general anesthetics due to its adrenergic blocking effects. Data have been conflicting; however, the potential for increased risk of intraoperative complications such as arrhythmia, heart block, or pacemaker dependency should be considered.

MANAGEMENT: Cardiorespiratory status should be closely monitored during surgery and until the effects of anesthesia have worn off.
