b. Off-Label Uses
Cordarone (amiodarone) is an antiarrhythmic drug used to treat and prevent serious arrhythmias of the heart, including ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter 12. Although the FDA has not approved Cordarone to manage tachycardia and postoperative arrhythmias, it is often used off-label 12. Some studies support these off-label uses, although further clinical validation may be necessary 13.

The study also suggests that providing more information about unsupportive study findings may result in a reduction in reported prescribing likelihood 3.
