Dronedarone, sold under the brand name Multaq, is a medication used to keep people who have a history of atrial fibrillation in sinus rhythm. While it may not work as well as amiodarone, it may be safer. It should not be used in people who are always in atrial fibrillation. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and feeling weak. Other side effects may include liver problems, low potassium, low magnesium, and kidney problems. It should not be used in heart failure. Use in pregnancy may harm the baby. It is primarily a class III antiarrhythmic.

Dronedarone was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2009. It is available as a generic medication. In the United States it costs about 680 USD per month as of 2021. This amount in the United Kingdom costs about £67.
