Lidocaine is effective as an antiarrhythmic only when given parenterally, and the<br />

intravenous route is the most common. Antiarrhythmic activity is not observed after oral<br />

administration because of the rapid and efficient first-pass metabolism by the liver.<br />

Phenytoin (155) is most useful in treating ventricular arrhythmias associated with<br />

digitalis toxicity or acute myocardial infarction. CNS side effects are the most common<br />

problems encountered with phenytoin and include vertigo, loss of mental acuity.<br />

Mexiletine Hydrochloride: (±) 1 -Methyl-2-(2, 6-xylyloxy) ethylamine hydrochloride<br />

(156) is most useful in suppressing symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias. It is very<br />

similar to lidocaine in its action. It differs from lidocaine in its suitability for oral<br />

administration, high systemic availability (90%) after ingestion and is metabolized by<br />

hepatic route. It is administered with food and antacid. The major adverse effects of<br />

mexiletine are neurologic and include tremors, ataxia and confusion. It is metabolized by<br />

N-methylation and p-hydroxylation to inactive metabolites<br />
