Does anyone know if there is an alternative for amiodarone? Some devastating side effects!

I would love an answer to this as well. Great drip for its purpose— horrible side-effects!

@breathe43 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Glad you could join us. You will see that I moved your comment to a discussion where several members are discussing amiodarone alternatives.

Can you share how long you have been on the medication and what side effects you are experiencing?
