Can I Take Fleet Enema Along With Amiodarone?
Question: I take Amiodarone to regulate heart beat. Can I take a Fleet enema with this drug Amiodarone
Brief Answer:
Can take with caution
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
You can take Fleet enema with Amiodarone under the careful monitoring of serum electrolytes.
Fleet enema can cause electrolyte disbalance, thus increase proarrhythmic side effects of Amiodarone (side effect of causing arrhythmias)
To avoid this, you should drink much liquids before, during and after taking Fleet enema. Also, I would advise to have you electrolytes checked before and after you take Fleet enema.
In case you develop symptoms such as palpitations , dizziness or have episodes of fainting, tell immediately your doctor
Wishing you good health
In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
Regards,
Can take with caution
