There have been cases, some fatal, of Amiodarone overdose.
 
In addition to general supportive measures, the patient's cardiac rhythm and blood pressure should be monitored, and if bradycardia ensues, a β-adrenergic agonist or a pacemaker may be used. Hypotension with inadequate tissue perfusion should be treated with positive inotropic and/or vasopressor agents. '''Neither Amiodarone nor its metabolite is dialyzable'''.
