Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Amiodarone is an anti arrhythmic agent, according to Vaughan William classification, it is a class III drug.
As the consultant decides the type of molecule depending upon the clinical presentation, you must discuss it's alternative with your treating cardiologist only for further guidelines.
Wish her fine recovery.
