How it works
Propafenone is a Class IC antiarrhythmic with local anaesthetic properties. It reduces the upstroke velocity (Phase 0) of the myocardial action potential by blocking fast sodium channels, slowing conduction velocity in the His-Purkinje system and ventricular myocardium. It has weak beta-blocking and calcium channel-blocking activity.
Storage
Store at 20–25°C (68–77°F) in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and heat.
