Hi, folks. I suffer from arrhythmias and I am on regular anticoagulant therapy. I use warfarin regularly. However, I was added amiodarone to my treatment. I would like to know whether this combination is all right. Are there any interactions between these drugs? I would appreciate if anyone could reply me. Thanks.

Hi, there. Amiodarone is very potent drug. It is very effective when it comes to ventricular arrhythmias. Combination of amiodarone and warfarin increases the International Normalized Ratio (INR). In a word, this combination increases the possibility of bleeding. However, this combination can have some advantages. You should discuss this with your cardiologist. Tell him if you notice any symptoms. I hope everything will be all right. Bye!

I read in another reliable source that when both are given the warfarin dose should be halved. Pls check with your doctor on this.
