Multaq  Linked to Severe Liver Failure

The FDA  has issued an alert  concerning the use of the drug dronedarone,  sold under the brand name Multaq. This FDA Multaq warning comes after receiving reports of liver failure in several patients taking the drug .  Multaq is a treatment for patients who are at increased risk of  heart attacks  because of conditions such as  diabetes or high blood pressure.  Since dronedarone's approval in  2009  about 492,000 dronedarone prescriptions have been written  world wide with 147,000 patients filled dronedarone prescriptions  in the US according to the FDA. The dronedarone warning  of its link to liver failure is bad news for a drug that was originally thought to be a blockbuster due to  the Multag side effects.

Dronedarone (Multaq), which was  a highly publicized  drug targeted at atrial fibrillation and sold under the brand name Multaq,  appears to only be  half as effective as the generic drug amiodarone and  has more side.  It was recommended for use only as a second- or third-line drug if all others fail. But now with the new FDA Multaq warning of possible dronedarone liver failure, that will have to be reexamined.  Atrial fibrillation, is a rapid and irregular beat  in the  upper chambers of the heart   and affects over 2 million people in the U.S., according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
