Hey there,
an info for those of you who live in the UK:
the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence has recently published its "Appraisal Consultation Document" for the use of Dronedarone to treat patients with atrial fibrillation.
The conclusion is: "The evidence provided to the independent appraisal committee indicates that dronedarone is less effective and costs considerably more than existing treatments for controlling atrial fibrillation. Having fully considered the available information, the committee therefore doesnt recommend dronedarone."
