Do not take Cordarone X Tablet 15's if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to iodine, amiodarone hydrochloride, or any of its other ingredients of it. Do not take if you have sinus bradycardia (slower than normal heartbeat), sinoatrial (SA) or atrioventricular (AV) heart block (abnormal heart rhythm) and do not have a pacemaker fitted, taking certain other medicines which could affect your heartbeat, are pregnant or breast-feeding. Cordarone X Tablet 15's contains lactose, so patients having lactose intolerance should not take it. Inform your doctor if you have age above 65 years, have liver problems, lung problems such as asthma, optic neuritis (eye problem), or are undergoing surgery. Inform your doctor if you have stevens-Johnsons syndrome (flu-like symptoms followed by rashes and blistering of the skin) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (a serious skin condition characterized by flu-like symptoms, chills, followed by rashes and peeling of the skin) as Cordarone X Tablet 15's can cause skin sensitivity and worsen the condition.

Drug-drug interactions: Cordarone X Tablet 15's may interact with other medications used to treat atrial fibrillation (digoxin and diltiazem), anticoagulant (warfarin), diuretic (furosemide), antibiotic (levofloxacin), analgesic (oxycodone), lipid-lowering drug (simvastatin), and antidepressant (trazodone).  

Drug-food interactions: Cordarone X Tablet 15's may interact with grapefruit juice and caffeine and increase the risk of side-effects. Cordarone X Tablet 15's may interact with alcohol and increase the side-effects associated with the liver.

Drug-disease interactions: Cordarone X Tablet 15's should be used with caution in patients with proarrhythmic effects (medication-induced side-effects), undergoing dialysis (a procedure to purify blood in kidney failure patients), pulmonary dysfunction (lung problems), sinus node dysfunction (irregular heart rhythm), visual impairment, and cardiovascular dysfunction (heart problems).

• Protect your skin from sunlight while taking this medicine and for a few months after finishing the course of the treatment. Apply sunscreen lotion that has high SPF (sun protection factor). Cover your face, arms, and legs while going outside.

Atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation: Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which upper chambers (the atria) beat out of coordination with lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. It causes poor blood flow into the heart. Symptoms include palpitations (racing or pounding heart), shortness of breath, and tiredness.

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome: WPW syndrome is a condition in which the upper and lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart cause rapid heartbeat because of an extra electrical pathway present between them. This condition is present at birth. Symptoms include rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) and dizziness.
