Amiodarone Peripheral Neuropathy
Quick Answer: Amiodarone (Pacerone, Cordarone) causes peripheral neuropathy in long-term users. Symptoms can be severe and slow to reverse. Discuss alternatives with your cardiologist if symptoms develop.
Management
If discontinuation is medically possible, neuropathy improves over months. If not, supportive treatment with gabapentin or duloxetine may help.
FAQ
Can I stop amiodarone?
Only with cardiologist approval — it has a long half-life and is critical for some heart rhythm conditions.
