Pacet
( Amiodarone Tablet )
Pacet® (Amiodarone) is a benzofuran derivative with an iodine content of nearly 40%. Its anti-anginal effect is based on the dilation of the coronary arteries; it reduces the peripheral vascular resistance, and is an antiarrhythmic agent for dysrhythmias of atrial and ventricular origin. It influences all the electrophysiologically important parts of the heart; it thus especially prolongs the action potential and refractory period of myocardial tissues and the atrioventricular conduction time. In comparison with other antiarrhythmic agents amiodarone possesses fewer arrhythmogenic effects.
- Reduces incidence of sudden death in heart failure
