This week’s valuable resource award is a little different to the usual.

Rather than a handy algorithm or useful assessment tool, this is, in fact an article from a recent Australian Prescriber.

It’s about all the potential complications and side effects that can potentially occur with amiodarone, that reasonably popular drug that tends to get started in patients with AF and ventricular arrhythmias.

In fact, the list of potential side-effects is quite extensive and not all that intuitive, particularly in elderly patients, which is why having this article bookmarked somewhere to be able to access at a moment’s notice is such a good idea.
