Amiodarone HCl 50mg | 3mL Injectable SDV

Product Overview:

Amiodarone HCl 50mg | 3mL Injectable SDV (Single-Dose Vial) is a sterile solution intended for intravenous administration. Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication used to manage and treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). It is commonly utilized in emergency and critical care settings where rapid response to abnormal heart rhythms is required.

Key Features:

1. Potent Antiarrhythmic Agent:

• Amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic drug that works by prolonging the myocardial cell action potential duration and refractory period, thus stabilizing cardiac electrical activity and preventing abnormal heart rhythms.

• Each vial contains 50mg of amiodarone hydrochloride per 3mL of solution, providing a precise dosage for accurate administration.

• Packaged in a single-dose vial, this product is designed for one-time use, ensuring sterility and minimizing the risk of contamination.

• The solution is sterile, non-pyrogenic, and free from harmful contaminants, making it safe for intravenous use in various clinical scenarios.
