According to Orange County EMS, amiodarone is a Class III anti-arrhythmic and one of its precautions is that amiodarone is extremely a viscous solution.
Up to this point, I still haven't got the answer to this question: WHY DO WE DO NOT SHAKE AMIODARONE DRIP?
I'm delving into sources such as the cyberspace and books as it baffles me.

From the above clue, I researched on viscous solution. I found out through an article made by Jennifer Segui on Comsol Blog regarding the pouring ketchup quandary. Ketchup is a viscous solution and that there is a minimal amount that goes out at first. However if we shake the bottle, we can notice that there is an increase in amount that goes out which may have something to do with the shear thinning capacity.
So with that I'm assuming that the shearing thinning capacity also have something to do with the amiodarone drip that's why it should not be shaken.
