What to avoid
Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how amiodarone will affect you. Your reactions could be impaired.
Grapefruit may interact with amiodarone and lead to unwanted side effects. Avoid the use of grapefruit products.
Avoid taking an herbal supplement containing St. John's wort.
Amiodarone could make you sunburn more easily. Avoid sunlight or tanning beds. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors.
