Hello,
Amiodarone drug has a tendency to enhance the effect of Warfarin. So, look out for signs of increased bleeding. Additionally, Amiodarone can also increase the concentration of Atorvastatin medicine.
Liver function should be monitored for the same. But on the whole, the drugs you are taking will not cause any major side effects.
In my opinion, the itching could be a side effect of the hemodialysis. You can take Hydroxyzine or Levocetirizine drug for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
