    I just discovered your channel yesterday. I am a new RN, and about to start my new Nursing dream job in CVICU. The way you explain how these meds works in the body is very important. I like to know all the WHY I am doing what I am doing/ what I can watch for if something goes wrong. In school they teach us oh this medication is Calcium channel blocker but they do not explain how that medication works on cellular level! Thank you for making these videos!

Should we expect the existing pulmonary fibrosis get worse on this medication? If so, is there anything that you can recommend to minimize the pulmonary fibrosis worsening on this medication? thank you

      @DrugChug  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It has most of its effects on potassium channels, thats why it is listed to class III. But still retains effects on other channels/receptors to a slightly lesser extent.
      Class 3 is the best placement for amiodarone

      I think such medication only mostly kills the elderly and maybe the super young whose body will have trouble adjusting to its potent effect. The 200mg was the dosage that led to the irreversible damage to lungs of my husband. So if you're worried, you might want to seek second opinion.

    Good stuff...However, so.eone in V fib isnt going to take medication orally. Since this rhythm does not produce palpable pulses and you need to be defibrillated from the rhythm before given a 300mg iv dose, followed by another 150mg iv dose if they are still refractory. Then you worry about maintenance doses in hospital. Lol
