How Does Amiodarone Hydrochloride Work?

Amiodarone works by blocking abnormal electrical signals in the heart that cause irregular rhythms. It acts on different channels in heart cells, including sodium, potassium, and calcium, to slow conduction and prolong relaxation between beats. This ensures a steady, controlled heartbeat.
