What is Procainamide Hydrochloride?

Procainamide Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of procainamide, an amide derivative exhibiting class 1A antiarrhythmic property and analog of procaine. Procainamide hydrochloride reversibly binds to and blocks activated (open) voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby blocks the influx of sodium ions into the cell, which leads to an increase in threshold for excitation and inhibit depolarization during phase 0 of the action potential. In addition, the effective refractory period (ERP), action potential duration (APD), and ERP/APD ratios are increased, resulting in decreased impulse conduction velocity. The lasting action potential may also be due to blockage of outward K+ currents. The result is a decrease in automaticity, increase in refractory period and slowing of impulse conduction.

Procainamide Hydrochloride Application and side effects

Procainamide hydrochloride is used to treat ventricular arrhythmias: Ventricular Tachycardia and Tachycardia and Ventricular Arrhythmias: Atrial Fibrillation, Rehospitalization, and Automatic Supraventricular Tachycardia.

There are many side effects after procain amide induction. These adverse reactions are ventricular arrhythmias, bradycardia, hypotension and shock. If you increase the dose daily, side effects will be more serious. Procain amide can also cause fever and other allergic reactions in the drug. It is also possible that systemic lupus erythematosus can occur, leading to polyarticular pain, myalgia and pleurisy. Most of these side effects are caused by acetylation of procain amide.
