What is Amiodarone?

Amiodarone 200mg: Why the most common dose?

Amiodarone 200mg is often used as a maintenance dose to effectively manage arrhythmias after an initial higher dose. The usual starting dose is 400mg, but Amiodarone 200mg is commonly prescribed for long-term therapy because it balances effective arrhythmia control with a reduced risk of side effects.
