What’s the problem?

January 14, 2011 – FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients about cases of severe liver injury – including two cases of acute liver failure leading to liver transplant – in patients treated with the heart medication dronedarone (Multaq). Information about the potential risk of liver injury from dronedarone is being added to the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS sections of the dronedarone labels.

Dronedarone is a drug used to treat abnormal heart rhythms approved with the goal of preventing its use in patients with severe heart failure or who have recently been in the hospital for heart failure. In a study of patients with these conditions, patients given dronedarone had a greater than two-fold increase in risk of death.

Contact a healthcare professional immediately if you experience signs and symptoms of hepatic injury or toxicity while taking this drug including (but not limited to):

• anorexia
• nausea
• vomiting
• fever
• malaise
• fatigue
• right upper quadrant pain
• jaundice
• dark urine
• itching
