Cardarone automatically blocks a- and b-adrenoreceptors. Relief of paroxysmal tachycardia attacks, relief of other heart attacks and treatment of ventricular fibrillation. Cardarone is for use only in life-threatening situations and should be used strictly according to recommendations of your doctor.
