Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

Missing a single.dose of amiodarone will not cause any problems. You can take the medication as soon as you get it unless it is almost time for next scheduled dose, in which case you can take it at next scheduled dose. Make sure that you do not take double dose on a single day (24 hour period).
