Does Taking Amiodarone While Allergic To Iodine Cause Death?
My aunt was given Amiodarone, but she was highly allergic to iodine. When I first googled the medication the site I went to stated that if you were allergic to iodine it WOULD KILL YOU. I can t fine the original website. Please let me know. She did die due to Amiodarone Toxicity.

Hello,
The drug amiodarone contains normally 37% iodine by weight. So yes, your aunt if she is allergic to iodine, it can kill her.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
