T2  - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 7e
AB  - Because  of  their  actions  on  the  heart,  antiarrhythmic  drugs  are  extremely  toxic,  and  overdoses  are  often  life-threatening.  Several  classes  of  antiarrhythmic  drugs  are  discussed  elsewhere  in  Section  II:  type  Ia  drugs  (quinidine,  disopyramide,  and  procainamide);  type  II  drugs  (beta  blockers);  type  IV  drugs  (calcium  antagonists);  and  the  older  type  Ib  drugs  (lidocaine,  Anesthetics,  Local,  and  phenytoin).  This  section  describes  toxicity  caused  by  type  Ib  (tocainide  and  mexiletine);  type  Ic  (flecainide,  encainide,  propafenone,  and  moricizine);  and  type  III  (bretylium,  amiodarone,  dronedarone,  and  dofetilide)  antiarrhythmic  drugs.  Sotalol,  which  also  has  type  III  antiarrhythmic  actions,  is  discussed  in  the  section  on  beta-adrenergic  blockers.
