When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Amiodarone inhibits peripheral conversion of thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3) and also contributes inorganic iodine that can result in altered thyroid function tests, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism. Therapy with amiodarone should be administered cautiously in patients with thyroid dysfunction. Clinical monitoring, including baseline and periodic evaluation of thyroid function is recommended. Modification of thyroid therapy may be necessary.
