Para que é usado
Como funciona
Class 1B antidysrhythmic; combines with fast Na channels & thereby inhibits recovery after repolarization resulting in decreasing myocardial excitability & conduction velocity
Dose habitual em adultos (resumo da bula)
Ventricular Arrhythmias (Life-Threatening) Initial: 200 mg PO q8hr; may load with 400 mg followed by 200 mg PO q8hr if necessary for rapid control of ventricular arrhythmia
Gravidez e amamentação
- Gravidez
- Unknown No adequate human data. Animal studies showed no birth defects but more fetal loss (resorptions) at up to 4 times the human dose. Use only if the benefit outweighs the risk, for example for serious arrhythmias, with fetal monitoring.
- Amamentação
- Safe Passes into milk at levels similar to the mother's blood. US label: consider another way of feeding the infant. LactMed: doses up to 600 mg daily give low milk levels that are not expected to harm the infant.
