Duron 200 Tablet contains Amiodarone (200 mg), which works on the body through several mechanisms:

• Prolongs Action Potential Duration: This means it increases the time during which electrical charges within heart muscles can trigger another heartbeat. This helps in controlling irregular heart rhythms.

• Reduces Adrenergic Impact: Amiodarone decreases the influence of adrenaline-like substances (alpha and beta-adrenergic substances) on the heart, which can contribute to abnormal heart rhythms.

• Slows Conduction Velocity: By slowing down the speed at which electrical impulses travel through the heart muscles, Duron 200 Tablet helps manage irregular heartbeats.

• Decreases Excitability: Amiodarone reduces how easily heart muscles can be excited into triggering a heartbeat, further helping control abnormal heart rhythms.
