I have been taking this medicine since about the past 9 months when Holter examination showed some abnormality. Although this drug has helped me control arrythmia, i have some problem with my eyes. My vision seems to have deteriorated specially far vision.Could this be due to the medication. I am also taking Cardivas 25 twice a day since the last 10 years. My EF of heart is 23. My age is 70 years.

My mother passed away in January 2011 after many years of being on amiodarone.Death certificate stated she had interstitial pneumonitis and respiratory. As you may know this drug causes respiratory failure and I believe it contributed to her death as she was never diagnosed or had any respiratory problems. Pulmonary fibrosis doesn't just creep up on you. Does anyone have any patient information pages from Wyeth prior to 2005 indicating this warning. This is a drug that should be used as a last resort and if you are taking it you should be monitored and have pulmonary functions, thyroid, and liver among other body systems. Thanks, Lynne
