Прокаинамид-Эском

Прокаинамид-Эском Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

A derivative of procaine with less CNS action.

Прокаинамид-Эском is an agent indicated for production of local or regional anesthesia and in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia occurring during cardiac manipulation, such as surgery or catheterization, or which may occur during acute myocardial infarction, digitalis toxicity, or other cardiac diseases. The mode of action of the antiarrhythmic effect of Прокаинамид-Эском appears to be similar to that of procaine and quinidine. Ventricular excitability is depressed and the stimulation threshold of the ventricle is increased during diastole. The sinoatrial node is, however, unaffected.

How Прокаинамид-Эском works

Прокаинамид-Эском is sodium channel blocker. It stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses thereby effecting local anesthetic action.

Toxicity

LD50=95 mg/kg (rat, IV); LD50=312 mg/kg (mouse, oral); LD50=103 mg/kg (mouse, IV); LD50=250 mg/kg (rabbit, IV)

Food Interaction

  • Avoid alcohol.
  • Take with food. Food reduces irritation.

Прокаинамид-Эском Alcohol interaction

[Minor] Ethanol may increase the acetylation of procainamide.

Subtherapeutic plasma levels of procainamide may result in some patients.

Because the acetylated metabolite of procainamide also possesses antiarrhythmic properties, the clinical effects are unclear.
