Dronedarone

Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking this medication.

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.

Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).

Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website (http://goo.gl/c4Rm4p) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.

It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach. http://www.upandaway.org

In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.

Do not drink grapefruit juice while you take dronedarone. Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of dronedarone in your blood and increase the likelihood that you will have a side effect of dronedarone.

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if dronedarone passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take dronedarone or breastfeed. You should not do both.

If you take too much of this medication, call your healthcare provider or local Poison Control Center, or seek emergency medical attention right away.

You should not use dronedarone if you were recently hospitalized for heart failure, or if you now have symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, swelling, rapid weight gain). You also should not use dronedarone if you have a "permanent" heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation. Dronedarone can double your risk of death if you have any of these heart conditions.

Dronedarone can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not use dronedarone if you are pregnant.

You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.

You should not use dronedarone if you have severe liver disease or certain serious heart conditions such as "AV block" or sick sinus syndrome (unless you have a pacemaker). You should not use dronedarone if you have a history of very slow heart beats, or if you have ever used amiodarone and it caused you to have lung problems or liver problems.

There are many other medicines that can cause serious medical problems if you take them together with dronedarone. You may need to stop taking certain drugs while you are taking dronedarone. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use.

Dronedarone is used to treat intermittent or "temporary" heart rhythm disorders. In some people with "permanent" atrial fibrillation, dronedarone increased the risk of stroke, hospitalization due to heart failure, and death. Dronedarone can double your risk of death if you have any of these heart conditions:

• if you were recently hospitalized for heart failure;

• if you now have symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, swelling, rapid weight gain); or

• you have a "permanent" atrial fibrillation that cannot be changed back to a normal rhythm.

You also should not use dronedarone if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

• severe liver disease;

• certain serious heart conditions, especially severe heart failure, "AV block" or sick sinus syndrome (unless you have a pacemaker);

• a history of slow heart beats that have caused you to faint;

• if you are pregnant or breast-feeding; or

• if you have ever used amiodarone and it caused you to have lung problems or liver problems.

Some medicines can cause unwanted or dangerous effects when used with dronedarone. You may need to stop taking certain drugs while you are taking dronedarone. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:

• cyclosporine;

• ritonavir;

• antifungal medicine--ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole;

• an antibiotic--clarithromycin, telithromycin;

• an antidepressant;

• medicine to treat a psychiatric disorder; or

• other heart rhythm medicines.

To make sure dronedarone is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:

• kidney disease;

• liver disease;

• a history of heart failure;

• an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood); or

• if you have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted in your chest.

FDA pregnancy category X. This medicine can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not use dronedarone if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. Use effective birth control while you are using this medicine.

It is not known whether dronedarone passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while taking dronedarone.

• Store at room temperature.
• Store in a dry place. Do not store in a bathroom.
• Keep all drugs in a safe place. Keep all drugs out of the reach of children and pets.
• Check with your pharmacist about how to throw out unused drugs.
