It depends: Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication used to treat both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. It has several potential side effects related to the dose and the amount of time you are on it. These include liver toxicity, pulmonary fibrosis, hypo/hyperthyroidism, retinal deposits, neuropathy, or bluish skin discoloration. It is a safe drug provided tests to check for these are performed routine.
