Amiodarone Amiodarone shows beta blocker-like and calcium channel blocker-like actions on the SA and AV nodes, increases the refractory period via sodium-and potassium-channel effects, and slows intra-cardiac conduction of the cardiac action potential, via sodium-channel effects.n South America, it is known as Atlansil and is produced by Roemmers. In India amiodarone is marketed(produced by Cipla Pharmaceutical) under the brand name Tachyra available in 100 mg and 200 mg and intravenous ampules. It is also available in intravenous ampules and vials, typically in 150 mg increments.

Rate Control Medication for Atrial Fibrillation Rate Control Medication for Atrial Fibrillation. Rate control medication slows the heart rate to generally less than 100 beats per minute by blocking some of the errant electrical signals in the atria and preventing them from being transmitted to the ventricles.

Heart arrhythmias and palpitations Treatment for arrhythmia may include: 1  medication – to stabilise the heart rhythm, or treat conditions such as an overactive thyroid gland. 2  a pacemaker – a small electronic device that electrically stimulates the heart to maintain an appropriate heart rhythm if the heart rhythm is too slow.

Managing Atrial Fibrillation with Medication Some patients have success with electrical cardioversion, which shocks the heart into a normal sinus rhythm, followed by rhythm control drugs to maintain that normal sinus rhythm. There are three types of medications used in treating and managing atrial fibrillation:1  Rate control medication to control the heart rate.o find out about these various medications, see rate control medication, rhythm control medication, and anticoagulant medication. 1 Wyse, D. George, M.D., Rate Versus Rhythm Control in the Management of Atrial Fibrillation, American Heart Association, Copyright, 2006.

Tachycardia With the following treatments, it may be possible to prevent or manage episodes of tachycardia. 1  Catheter ablation. This procedure is often used when an extra electrical pathway is responsible for an increased heart rate. 2  Medications. Pill versions of anti-arrhythmic medications may prevent a fast heart rate when taken regularly. 3  Pacemaker.

Dronedarone Dronedarone is used to treat people who currently have normal heart rhythm, but have had atrial fibrillation in the past. Dronedarone decreases the risk that people who have this condition will need to be hospitalized to treat atrial fibrillation. Dronedarone is in a class of medications called antiarrhythmics. It works by helping the heart to beat normally.

Ventricular Tachycardia Medication Procainamide (Procanbid, Pronestyl, Pronestyl [SR]) Procainamide is a class IA antiarrhythmic used for VT that is refractory to defibrillation and epinephrine. It is indicated for ventricular arrhythmias such as sustained VT. Procainamide is available only in IV form and is rarely used, because of hypotension and proarrhythmia risk.

Medications for Atrial Fibrillation The symptoms of atrial fibrillation are caused by the irregular heartbeat. Some people find Afib episodes to be painful and frightening. Others say they are simply uncomfortable. To help, your medical team may prescribe medications aimed at controlling your heart rate and your heart rhythm. In some cases, the same medications are used to control both. Beta blockers are a class of medications that are commonly used for heart rate control. These medications block some of the effects of adrenaline, which tends to make the heart beat faster. Metoprolol is an example of a commonly used beta blocker.
