Disopyramide, sold under the brand names Norpace among others, is a medication used to prevent ventricular tachycardia. [1] It is typically only used when other medications are not effective. [1] Use is not recommended for less serious arrhythmias. [1] It is taken by mouth. [1]
Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurry vision, urinary retention, nausea, tiredness, and dizziness. [1] Other side effects may include heart failure, arrhythmias, and low blood sugar. [1] Safety in pregnancy is unclear. [1] It is a class 1a anti-arrhythmic and sodium channel blocker. [1] It has a negative effect on the hearts ability to contract. [1]
Disopyramide was approved for medical use in the United States in 1977. [1] It is available as a generic medication. [2] In the United Kingdom 84 pills of 100 mg costs the NHS about £27 as of 2021. [2] In the United States this amount costs about 55 USD. [3]
