Amiodarone 為第三類抗心律不整的藥物。多數文獻提及 amiodarone 引發的肝臟和甲狀腺體的毒性多是屬於長期使用此藥物。有關於靜脈注射 amiodarone 引起的肝毒性和甲狀腺機能低下的案例卻很少。我們將討論一案例報告可能因急性注射amiodarone 後引起肝臟毒性和甲狀腺機能低下。

Amiodarone is a class III anti-arrhythmic. The liver and thyroid toxicities of amiodarone reported in most literature are mostly associated with the long-term use of this drug. There were few case reports on intravenous amiodarone induced hepatotoxicity and hypothyroidism. We discuss a case of hepatotoxicity and the hypothyroidism possibly induced by acute amiodarone injection.
