Mexiletine is a Class IB antiarrhythmic agent used primarily for ventricular arrhythmias. It functions by blocking sodium channels to stabilize cardiac membranes. The standard industrial synthesis involves condensation reactions yielding the molecular formula C13H21NO. Its unique identifier is CAS 3743-72-6.
Strictly contraindicated in patients with cardiogenic shock or severe heart block. Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent hydrolysis. Handling mandates PPE due to potential toxicity upon ingestion or inhalation.
