CompositionPacebeat 200 Tablet is used to manage and prevent serious, life-threatening heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) in adults, including ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, when other treatments have not worked or are not suitable.
It contains amiodarone, a class III antiarrhythmic. It is a specialist medicine and must be started under hospital supervision. Take it as prescribed; the dose is usually high at the start and then reduced. Do not stop it without medical advice.
Keeping to your monitoring appointments and protecting your skin and eyes from strong sunlight support safe treatment alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any thyroid, liver, lung or eye problems before starting, and about other medicines you take, as amiodarone interacts with many drugs. This medicine requires regular monitoring of thyroid, liver, lung and eye function. Report breathlessness, vision changes, yellowing of skin or eyes, or unexplained weight changes.
