When elderly patients are administrated with amiodarone, cardiologists and pharmacists should carefully evaluate the long-term and short-term side effects, as well as whether combined use with other drugs will increase the adverse reactions of amiodarone.

Amiodarone is a potent inhibitor to a number of drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, including CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and P-glycoprotein. In addition, the expected hepatic, thyroid and pulmonary side effects of amiodarone are much more pronounced in the elderly population.
