procainamide
Procainamide INN (; trade names Pronestyl, Procan, Procanbid) is a pharmaceutical antiarrhythmic agent used for the medical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, classified by the Vaughan Williams classification system as class Ia.
==Medical uses ==
This drug is used for both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. For example, it can be used to convert new-onset atrial fibrillation, though it is suboptimal for this purpose.
To have a high efficacy, the antiarrhythmic drug procainamide has to be induced frequently to obtain and maintain an adequate serum concentration. Because of its short half-life it has to be induced every 3 or 4 hours. Also procainamide-induced antinuclear antibodies are formed after a 6 months treatment. But further research showed, that after a long-term therapy of procainamide, some subjects did not produce any antinuclear antibodies. Also procainamide can be acetylated to acecainide and to other reactive and toxic metabolites, which would contradict the efficacy.〔Roden, Dan M., et al.
