Encainide

Known as: Encainide [Chemical/Ingredient], 4-Methoxy-2'-[2-(1-methyl-2-piperidyl)ethyl]benzanilide, Benzamide, 4-methoxy-N-(2-(2-(1-methyl-2-piperidinyl)ethyl)phenyl)-, (+-)- 
One of the ANTI-ARRHYTHMIA AGENTS, it blocks VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS and slows conduction within the His-Purkinje system and MYOCARDIUM.
