Amiodarone has many potential toxic side effects, including pulmonary toxicity, ophthalmic effects, and thyroid toxicity, so these systems should be evaluated at baseline and periodically while the patient is taking the drug. A complete blood count is not indicated. Renal function tests are not indicated.
