I am not on low dose of Amiodarnone now nor when I was put on it back in 2015. . When put on it in hospital it was a I.V. dosage and then pill form when I got out. It was high dose though but not sure of strength.

I am not familiar with what a low dose is. I have read from other posters on MCC that they are on a low dose and mentioned 200 mg. From their posts your husbands by comparison would be considered a low dose.

Amiodarone is a very powerful medication and it does work. Even with low dose it has toxicity so just work with your doctors about the long term usage at the level he is on. I hated to come off mine as I had no PVCs and tachacardia when I was on it but did not want the toxicity damage.

The Mayo Pace Clinic was astonshished on how well it was working. When I was put on in I planned on living another 20 years. I did not want the toxicity issues of the medication. I thought I would have to have the special eye exams and labs forever. However at my last eye exam doctor (a MD) said after 10 years you do not have any signs of damage to your eyes and no need to have yearly exams for amiodarone toxicity damage. I guess the toxicity is not written in stone that it will cause damage to eyes and other organs as I had not signs of it and was tested every year for 10 years after I stopped.

Amu45sin here. Yes, I was on 200 amiodorone per day, which is normal.
Had an ablation on 4/18 abs am doing better. I am not an opthamomogist, but I developed scars in my eyes, as another person, on amiodorone did. Be care ful. Not good long term, even I was on it only 4 months.
