Product Description: Mexiletine is an orally effective antiarrhythmic agent which has also been found to be effective for myotonia and neuropathic pain. Mexiletine exerts its efficacy through blocking sodium channels (IC50 : 75±8 μM for tonic block, 23.6±2.8 μM for use-dependent block), therefore can be used for cardiovascular and neurological research[1][2][3][4][5].
