Cordarone ampoules 150mg 3ml #6

Infringements of an intimate rhythm, hypertonic illness, ischemic illness of heart, chronic coronary insufficiency

Cordarone pharmachologic effect:
Class III antiarrhythmic drugs. It has antiarrhythmic and antianginal effects.
Antiarrhythmic effect is due to an increase in phase 3 of the action potential, mainly due to the reduction of potassium current through the cell membrane channels of cardiomyocytes, and a decrease in sinus automatism (which leads to bradycardia unresponsive to atropine effects). The drug blocks the uncompetitive a- and b-adrenergic receptors. Slows sinoatrialnuyu, atrial and nodal conduction, without affecting the intraventricular conduction. Cordarone increases the refractory period and reduces the excitability of the myocardium. It slows conduction of excitation and prolongs the refractory period of additional atrioventricular pathways.
Antianginal effect cordarone due to a decrease in myocardial oxygen consumption (due to the deceleration in heart rate and decrease in systemic vascular resistance), a non-competitive blockade of a- and b-adrenergic receptors, increase coronary blood flow by direct effect on the smooth muscles of arteries, maintaining cardiac output by reducing the pressure in the aorta and decreased peripheral resistance .
Cordarone no significant negative inotropic effect, reduces myocardial contractility mainly after / in the introduction.
Affects the exchange of thyroid hormone, inhibits the conversion of T4 TK (blockade of 5-thyroxine deiodinase) and blocks the capture of these hormones cardiocytes and hepatocytes, which leads to a weakening of the stimulating effect of thyroid hormones on the myocardium. Determined in plasma during the 9 months after stopping its administration.
Therapeutic effects are observed at 1 week (from several days to 2 weeks) after the start of ingestion of the drug.
With on / in a cordarone its activity reaches a maximum after 15 minutes and disappears after about 4 hours after administration. Despite the fact that the amount of blood introduced cordarone rapidly reduced drug tissue saturation is achieved. drug gradually displayed the absence of repeated injections. With the resumption of his administration or the appointment of a preparation for oral administration shaped its tissue supply.

Cordarone indications for use:
- Cupping of paroxysmal tachycardia;
- Cupping ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia;
- Cupping supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia with high ventricular rate, particularly against the background of sinroma Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome;
- Relief of paroxysmal and sustained atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter.

Relapse prevention:
- Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and ventricular fibrillation (treatment should be started in hospital under careful cardiac monitoring);
- Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia, including documented recurrent bouts of sustained supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in patients with organic heart disease; documented episodes of recurrent sustained supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in patients without organic heart disease, when other classes of antiarrhythmic drugs are not effective or are contraindicated to the use thereof; documented episodes of recurrent sustained supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in patients with WPW syndrome;
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter.

Prevention of sudden arrhythmic death in patients at high risk after recent myocardial infarction, with more than 10 PVCs 1 hour, klinichekie manifestations of chronic heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (<40%):
- Kordaron especially recommended for patients with organic heart disease (including coronary heart disease), accompanied by left ventricular dysfunction.
The injectable form Cordarone is intended to apply in cases when it is necessary to achieve rapid antiarrhythmic effect or if it can not be administered orally. Only for use in the hospital.

Cordarone mode of application:

Cordarone Pills:

Cordarone Pills:
Before and during treatment is recommended ECG study. Because prolongation of ventricular repolarization pharmacological effect cordarone vyzyvet certain ECG changes: lengthening the interval QT, Q-Tc (korregirovat) waves may cause increase in U. Acceptable Q-Tc intervals less than 450 ms or no more than 25% of the original value. These changes are not a manifestation of the toxic effect of the drug, however, require monitoring for dose adjustments and evaluation of possible actions proaritmogennoe cordarone.
Older people can temporarily slow down the heart rate with the development of bradycardia.
The appearance of shortness of breath or nonproductive cough may be due to toxic effects on the lungs cordarone.
With the development of atrioventricular block II and III degree, sino-atrial block or two-beam intraventricular blockade, treatment should be discontinued.
Since Kordaron contains iodine, it is recommended to carry out a study of thyroid function before and during treatment. Admission cordarone can distort the results of radioisotope studies of thyroid, but does not affect the accuracy of the determination of the content of T3, T4 and TSH in blood plasma.
Before and during the treatment of treatment is recommended defining the level of potassium in the blood serum.

Cordarone Injection:
- Intravenous cordarone usually be administered as an intravenous infusion, rather than as an injection syringe due to the danger
occurrence of hemodynamic disturbances (hypotension, acute heart failure).
- Intravenous cordarone syringe in the form of injections should only be done in emergency situations when no other therapeutic options and only in coronary care departments under continuous electrocardiographic monitoring.
- Cordarone When administered as an injection syringe, the dose is about 5 mg / kg should be administered for at least 3 minutes again.
The injection should not be repeated sooner than 15 minutes after the first injection, even if the latter consists of only one ampoule
(Possible irreversible collapse).
Do not mix in the same syringe with other drugs. If necessary, long-term treatment should go to intravenous infusion.
- Kordaron for intravenous injection should be used only in specialized hospital wards under constant supervision
(ECG, blood pressure).
- Use with caution in the case of arterial hypotension, severe respiratory failure, decompensated cardiomyopathy and severe heart failure.
General anesthesia: the anesthetist before surgery should be made aware that the patient receives amiodarone.
Before starting treatment with Cordarone it is recommended to perform an ECG recording, determine the level of thyroid hormones (T3, T4 and TSH) and potassium in the blood serum.
Side effects of the drug generally depend on the dose; therefore, caution should be exercised in determining the minimum effective maintenance dose to avoid or minimize the occurrence of undesirable effects.
Patients should be warned that they are in the course of treatment avoided sunlight or take protective measures (eg, solntsezatsitnye cream).
Amiodarone can cause thyroid dysfunction, especially in patients with impaired function of the thyroid gland in their own or family history. Therefore, before starting treatment, during treatment and several months after the end of treatment should be careful clinical and laboratory monitoring. If you suspect a thyroid dysfunction should be the measurement of TSH levels in blood serum.
