Use with caution in patients taking MAO inhibitors (antidepressants Nardil and Parnate) AMIODARONE Ventricular Fibrillation or Pulseless VT Stable Ventricular Tachycardia 300 mg IV or IO bolus, repeat 150 mg bolus if rhythm persists 150 mg IV infusion or slow IV push over 10 minutes (15 mg/minute) In patient with pulses, may cause hypotension.
