Amiodarone can cause side effects affecting the lungs, eyes, and thyroid, so baseline tests including a chest radiograph (to assess lung health), ophthalmologic examination (to check for eye issues), pulmonary function tests (to evaluate lung function), and thyroid function tests (to monitor thyroid health) are recommended before starting the medication.
