In particular, amiodarone is most unlikely to be affected by a prescribing software warning, as it would be initiated 'elsewhere' which doesn't have computerised prescribing. I am thinking of a non-Vet, aged 83, on peritoneal dialysis, being prescribed this at 100mg daily. While a useful drug, she and I fixed on a dose of 50mg twice weekly which has worked for nearly 12 months. -- Is it 1974? What's for SUPPER?
