Клиническое использование

Dronedarone hydrochloride (also known as SR33589 and marketed as Multaq) is a drug developed by Sanofi-Aventis for cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) that was approved by the FDA in July 2009. Dronedarone is used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in patients whose hearts have either returned to normal rhythm or who undergo drug therapy or electroshock treatment to maintain normal cardio rhythm. Dronedarone is less lipophilic than amiodarone, exhibits a much smaller volume of distribution and a half-life of 24 h, this stands in contrast to competitor amiodarone’s half-life of several weeks. As a result of these pharmacokinetic characteristics, dronedarone dosing may be less complicated than amiodarone.
