| THIS DRUG WAS DEVELOPED FOR USE IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD A SERIOUS
FAILURE OF THE HEARTS PUMPING ABILITY AND IS IN A STATE OF FLUX. THE HEART
MUSCLE IS TWITCHING AND IS NOT PUMPING BLOOD. THIS IS CALLED VENTRICULAR
FIBRILLATION AND IF NOT CORRECTED IT WILL LEAD TO DEATH.
THIS IS THE FUNCTION OF THE DRUG CORDARONE® OR PACERONE® ALSO CALLED AMIODARONE (GENERIC) CAUSING THE FIBRILLATION TO BE CONTROLLED. (HOPEFULLY) GIVING THE DOCTOR TIME TO REACT TO THIS CONDITION. THE MAKER OF IT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATES THAT IT IS TO BE USED ONLY WHEN OTHER DRUGS CANNOT BE USED THUS THE LAST RESORT DESIGNATION. THE PDR THAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE UNLESS YOU DEMAND TO SEE IT IS VERY SPECIFIC. IT WILL STATE THAT IT IS TO BE ADMINISTERED ONLY IN A HOSPITAL SETTING WITH CLOSE MONITORING AND SUPERVISED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. FDA HAS APPROVED IT ONLY FOR THIS USE AND FOR NO OTHER, SUCH AS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, ETC. A PACKAGE INSERT MAY CONTAIN ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND SIDE EFFECTS BUT YOU MUST ASK THE DRUGGIST FOR IT AS IT ONLY COMES IN THE LARGE CONTAINER HE BUYS IN. SOME DRUG STORES WILL PRINT OUT A SHORT FORM ON THEIR COMPUTER WHICH IS WORSE THAN USELESS, DEMAND THE ONE PRINTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. AS AN AVERAGE ONLY 1% OF HEALTH CARE GIVERS EVER READ THESE, BUT DEPEND ON THE SALES REPRESENTATIVES WHO CALL ON THEM AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS AND UNAUTHORIZED STUDIES PRESENTED AT VARIOUS CONFERENCES AND IN SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS. THE MAKERS OF CORDARONE AND PACERONE HAVE MOUNTED HUGE ADVERTISING PROGRAMS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS CONVINCING CARDIOLOGISTS THAT IT BE USED FOR OTHER THAN ITS APPROVED USE BY THE FDA AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL TO THE DETRIMENT OF THEIR PATIENTS. |
