  • Title: [Treatment with mexiletine. Clinical and pharmacokinetic studies].
    Author: Breithaupt H, Schmidt A.
    Journal: Klin Wochenschr; 1988 Jun 01; 66(11):475-81. PubMed ID: 2457131.
    Abstract:
    Pharmacokinetics of the antiarrhythmic agent mexiletine were found to be highly variable. Ineffective or toxic doses can be avoided by monitoring mexiletine concentrations in patients plasma. However, the success of antiarrhythmic therapy is mainly determined by the severity of the underlying disease. Therefore, the efficacy of treatment with mexiletine should be controlled by Holter monitoring.
