Of the 6 patients 5 (87 per cent) had bilateral epididymal enlargement and pain. The mean dosage in the patients with epididymitis was 700mg. per day compared to 377mg. per day in all patients (p less than 0.01). No infectious etiology was implicated in any patient. Temporary discontinuation or decrease in dosage is recommended for patients who suffer noninfectious epididymitis while on amiodarone therapy. © 1985 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByKirkali Z (2018) RE: RECURRENT BILATERAL AMIODARONE INDUCED EPIDIDYMITISJournal of Urology, VOL. 162, NO. 3 Part 1, (808-809), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1999.HUTCHESON J, PETERS C and DIAMOND D (2018) AMIODARONE INDUCED EPIDIDYMITIS IN CHILDRENJournal of Urology, VOL. 160, NO. 2, (515-517), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1998.
