Pharmacology
- Indication
For the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
- Associated Conditions
- Pharmacodynamics
Procainamide is an agent indicated for production of local or regional anesthesia and in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia occurring during cardiac manipulation, such as surgery or catheterization, or which may occur during acute myocardial infarction, digitalis toxicity, or other cardiac diseases. The mode of action of the antiarrhythmic effect of Procainamide appears to be similar to that of procaine and quinidine. Ventricular excitability is depressed and the stimulation threshold of the ventricle is increased during diastole. The sinoatrial node is, however, unaffected.
- Mechanism of action
Procainamide is sodium channel blocker. It stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses thereby effecting local anesthetic action.

Drug Interaction Abiraterone The serum concentration of Procainamide can be increased when it is combined with Abiraterone. Acetaminophen Acetaminophen may decrease the excretion rate of Procainamide which could result in a higher serum level. Acetylsalicylic acid Acetylsalicylic acid may decrease the excretion rate of Procainamide which could result in a higher serum level. Agmatine The serum concentration of Agmatine can be increased when it is combined with Procainamide. Alcuronium Procainamide may increase the neuromuscular blocking activities of Alcuronium. Alendronic acid The risk or severity of myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuria can be increased when Alendronic acid is combined with Procainamide. Alfuzosin The risk or severity of QTc prolongation can be increased when Alfuzosin is combined with Procainamide. Alimemazine The risk or severity of QTc prolongation can be increased when Alimemazine is combined with Procainamide. Alprazolam Alprazolam may decrease the excretion rate of Procainamide which could result in a higher serum level. Amantadine Amantadine may increase the QTc-prolonging activities of Procainamide. - Food Interactions
