Amioron 150 MG Injection 3 ML contains amiodarone (150 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Potassium channel blockade: Amiodarone blocks potassium channels in the heart, which prolongs the cardiac action potential duration. This gives your heart muscle more time to recover between contractions, reducing the chance of abnormal heart rhythms.

• Sodium channel inhibition: It blocks sodium channels in heart tissue, which helps slow the electrical impulses through your heart and stabilises irregular heart rhythms.

• Calcium channel effects: Amiodarone reduces calcium movement into heart cells, helping to control the force and rate of heart contractions.

• Beta-adrenergic blocking: It produces non-competitive blocking effects on beta receptors in the heart, which helps slow the heart rate and reduce the workload on the heart.

• Store Amioron 150 MG Injection 3 ML in its original packaging.

• Keep the vials protected from light exposure.

• Check the solution before use – discard if discoloured or contains particles.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Heart-healthy diet: Reduce sodium intake to help manage heart rhythm conditions. High salt consumption can worsen fluid retention and increase stress on your heart.

• Regular cardiac check-ups: Maintain scheduled appointments for ECG monitoring and heart function tests to ensure your heart rhythm disorder is properly managed.
