I have been on cordarone for 9 months (300 mg daily). I'm also on 37.5mg (twice a day) of Carvedilol, 7.5mg of Ramipril, 100mg of Mexiletine (twice a day), blood thinners and a lasiks I am starting to see black specs in my vision which is more than concerning for me. Is this a normal side effect? Does anyone else have this problem?

I've been on the transplant list for 6 months now so I will be going off of these drugs more sooner than later, I hope. So my last question would be, do these spots go away once I have stopped taking the drug?

Thanks,

Chris

My Dad took amiodarone for many years and I never heard him complain of this. I think you should check in with your doctor.

Chris,
I agree that you should get this checked out. From your description, this could be caused by a lot of different things, some serious, and some not. It may not be related to your heart or meds, but vision symptoms like this should always be checked out by a physician.
