amiodarone and HIV Coinfection

amiodarone has been researched along with HIV Coinfection in 3 studies

Amiodarone: An antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.
amiodarone : A member of the class of 1-benzofurans that is 1-benzofuran substituted by a butyl group at position 2 and a 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-3,5-diiodobenzoyl group at position 3. It is a cardiovascular drug used for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias.

" Amiodarone is commonly used to control cardiac arrhythmias; however, it is recognized as having a narrow therapeutic window with potential for significant drug toxicity."4.90Amiodarone and concurrent antiretroviral therapy: a case report and review of the literature. ( Fong, I; la Porte, C; Naccarato, M; Yoong, D, 2014)
" Here, we present the HCV treatment challenges facing a patient with HIV coinfection, prior failure of both HIV-1 and HCV therapy, cirrhosis, end-stage renal failure on haemodialysis, as well as management of drug-drug interactions, especially given the need to receive long-term amiodarone therapy."3.88Cure of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in an HIV-coinfected patient with multiple comorbidities and drug interaction challenges.
