Core Tip |
A patient who developed lower limb muscle tremors after the use of amiodarone was administrated with supraventricular tachycardia and frequent ventricular tachycardia. The symptoms was mitigated continuously. After the use of amiodarone was stopped, and the patient was given levetiracetam, the symptoms were gradually mitigated. This type of adverse reaction to amiodarone has been rare. The adverse reaction caused by amiodarone should be considered when similar symptoms occur during diagnosis and treatment. |
