Z Sadowski, and D Paczkowski, and M Markiewicz, and E Nartowicz, and P Koliński, and M Filipek

In 16 healthy males bioavailability of Mexicord (Polfa) was studied, in comparison with mexiletine of foreign made. Bioavailability extent (EBA) of Mexicord was over 99% in comparison with a standard drug. Comparative study of antiarrhythmic activity and side effects was performed in 32 patients with frequent ventricular premalure beats and nearly in a half of them resistant to antiarrhythmic agents. Mexicord was effective in 47% of treated patients, and side effects (most often nausea) were observed in 28% of patients, but only in 1 case therapy withdrawal was necessary. Statistical study proved a lack of significant differences in antiarrhythmic effectiveness and side effects between Mexicord (Polfa) and a drug of foreign made.
