Procainamide can be used to treat atrial fibrillation in the setting of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and to treat wide complex hemodynamically stable tachycardias.
22.
Some of the current DNMT inhibitors, however, like zebularine and procainamide, do not cross the blood brain barrier and would not prove as effective a treatment.
23.
*Procainamide, an amide, has a longer duration of action than Procaine, an ester, because of the isosteric replacement of the ester oxygen with a nitrogen atom.
24.
In the case of Procainamide, for instance, the change was included in information given the FDA in 1989, although it was missing from the required annual report, he said.
25.
If atrial fibrillation with pre-excitation occurs, treatment options include procainamide, flecainide, propafenone, dofetilide, and ibutilide, since these medications slow conduction in the accessory pathway causing the tachycardia and should be administered before considering electrical cardioversion.
26.
These include above all amiodarone, as well as beta blockers, ACE inhibitors ( however, pulmonary toxicity of ACE inhibitors usually lasts only 3 4 months and then usually disappears by itself ), procainamide, quinidine, tocainide, and minoxidil.
27.
Procainamide and cardioversion are now accepted treatments for conversion of tachycardia found with WPW . Amiodarone was previously thought to be safe in atrial fibrillation with WPW, but after several cases of ventricular fibrillation, it is no longer recommended in this clinical scenario.
28.
I noticed that the intracellular forms include several crucial drugs, including a number of WHO-EM drugs ( lidocaine, bupivacaine, procainamide, quinidine, phenytoin, carbamazepine ), whereas the extracellular forms are some of the most lethal neurotoxins known ( saxitoxins, neosaxitoxins, and tetrodotoxins ).
29.
Among the drugs that have been most commonly used for atrial fibrillation, those to restore a normal rhythm, are amiodarone ( sold as Cordarone ), sotalol ( Betapace ), propafenone ( Rythmol ), procainamide, quinidine, flecainide ( Tambocor ), disopyramide, moricizine and dofetilide ( Tikosyn ).

The four drugs, all manufactured at the company's South Boston plant, are : Brompheril Sustained Release Tablets, an over-the-counter nasal decongestant; Hydrocortisone Praxomine, a prescription foam used to treat rectal inflammation; a Potassium Chloride prescription drug commonly used to treat potassium deficiency caused by the use of diuretics; and Procainamide, a drug used to treat an irregular heartbeat.
