Prajmaline (Neo-gilurythmal)[1] is a class Ia antiarrhythmic agent[2] which has been available since the 1970s.[3] Class Ia drugs increase the time one action potential lasts in the heart.[4] Prajmaline is a semi-synthetic propyl derivative of ajmaline, with a higher bioavailability than its predecessor.[5] It acts to stop arrhythmias of the heart through a frequency-dependent block of cardiac sodium channels.[2]
