疗效迹象:

Mexiletine hydrochloride capsules are indicated for the treatment of documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia, that, in the judgment of the physician, are life-threatening. Because of the proarrhythmic effects of mexiletine, its use with lesser arrhythmias is generally not recommended. Treatment of patients with asymptomatic ventricular premature contractions should be avoided. Initiation of mexiletine treatment, as with other antiarrhythmic agents used to treat life-threatening arrhythmias, should be carried out in the hospital. Antiarrhythmic drugs have not been shown to enhance survival in patients with ventricular arrhythmias. Mexiletine hydrochloride capsules are contraindicated in the presence of cardiogenic shock or preexisting second- or third-degree AV block (if no pacemaker is present).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Mexiletine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic, antiarrhythmic agent,
structurally similar to
lidocaine, but orally active. In animal studies, mexiletine has been
shown to be effective
in the suppression of induced ventricular arrhythmias, including those
induced by
glycoside toxicity and coronary artery ligation. Mexiletine, like
lidocaine, inhibits the
inward sodium current, thus reducing the rate of rise of the action
potential, Phase 0.
Mexiletine decreased the effective refractory period (ERP) in Purkinje
fibers. The
decrease in ERP was of lesser magnitude than the decrease in action
potential duration
(APD), with a resulting increase in the ERP/APD ratio.
ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY IN MAN
Mexiletine is a Class 1B antiarrhythmic compound with
electrophysiologic properties in
man similar to those of lidocaine, but dissimilar from quinidine,
procainamide, and
disopyramide.
In patients with normal conduction systems, mexiletine has a minimal
effect on cardiac
impulse generation and
