Product Information

• Name: Mexiletine
• Synonyms: 2-(2-Aminopropoxy)-1,3-dimethylbenzene1-(2,6-Dimethylphenoxy)-2-propanamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Mexiletine is a drug that belongs to the class of drugs called antiarrhythmics. It is used for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias and for removing cardiac conduction abnormalities. Mexiletine acts by inhibiting the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which leads to a reduction in excitability of the heart muscle. Mexiletine has been shown to have a matrix effect on bacterial DNA, which may be due to its ability to bind with dinucleotide phosphate or its inhibitory effects on hypersensitivity syndrome. Mexiletine also has an effect on cardiac tissue, leading to decreased contractility and increased relaxation time. The mechanism by which mexiletine leads to these effects is not well understood but may be related to its ability to interact with ion channels in myocardial cells or alter protein function in these cells. Mexiletine has been shown to have some drug interactions, such as with other drugs that are metabolized through cy
