==Adverse Reactions==
 
===6.1 Clinical Trials Experience===
 
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
 
Adverse reactions associated with RYTHMOL occur most frequently in the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. About 20% of subjects treated with RYTHMOL have discontinued treatment because of adverse reactions.
 
Adverse reactions reported for > 1.5% of 474 subjects with SVT who received RYTHMOL in US clinical trials are presented in Table 1 by incidence and percent discontinuation, reported to the nearest percent.

In controlled trials in subjects with ventricular arrhythmia, the most common reactions reported for RYTHMOL and more frequent than on placebo were unusual taste, [[dizziness]]  first degree AV block, intraventricular conduction delay, [[nausea]]  nd/or [[vomiting]]  and [[constipation]]  Headache was relatively common also, but was not increased compared with placebo. Other reactions reported more frequently than on placebo or comparator and not already reported elsewhere included [[anxiety]], [[angina]], second-degree AV block, bundle branch block, loss of balance, congestive [[heart failure]], and [[dyspepsia]].
 
Adverse reactions reported for ≥1% of 2,127 subjects with ventricular [[arrhythmia ]]who received propafenone in US clinical trials were evaluated by daily dose. The most common adverse reactions appeared dose-related (but note that most subjects spent more time at the larger doses), especially [[dizziness]]  [[nausea]] and/or [[vomiting]], unusual taste, [[constipation]], and [[blurred vision]]. Some less common reactions may also have been dose-related such as first-degree AV block, congestive heart failure, dyspepsia, and weakness. Other adverse reactions included [[rash]]  [[syncope]]  chest pain, abdominal pain, [[ataxia]], and [[hypotension]].
 
In addition, the following adverse reactions were reported less frequently than 1% either in clinical trials or in marketing experience. Causality and relationship to propafenone therapy cannot necessarily be judged from these events.
 
<u>Cardiovascular System</u>: Atrial flutter, AV dissociation, [[cardiac arrest]], [[flushing]], hot flashes  sick sinus syndrome, sinus pause or arrest, [[supraventricular tachycardia]].
 
<u>Nervous System</u>: Abnormal dreams, abnormal speech, abnormal vision, [[confusion]], [[depression]]  memory loss, [[numbness]]  paresthesias, [[psychosis]]/[[mania]], [[seizures]] (0.3%), [[tinnitus]], unusual smell sensation, [[vertigo]].
 
<u>Gastrointestinal</u>: [[Cholestasis]] , elevated liver enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, serum transaminases), [[gastroenteritis]], [[hepatitis]] .
 
<u>Hematologic</u>: [[Agranulocytosis]], [[anemia]], [[bruising]], [[granulocytopenia]], [[leukopenia]], [[purpura]], [[thrombocytopenia]].
 
<u>Other</u>: [[Alopecia]], eye irritation, [[impotence]], increased glucose, positive ANA (0.7%), muscle cramps, muscle weakness, nephrotic syndrome, [[pain]], [[pruritus]].
 
===6.2 Postmarketing Experience===
 
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of RYTHMOL. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
 
<u>Gastrointestinal</u>: A number of patients with liver abnormalities associated with propafenone therapy have been reported in postmarketing experience. Some appeared due to hepatocellular injury, some were cholestatic, and some showed a mixed picture. Some of these reports were simply discovered through clinical chemistries, others because of clinical symptoms including fulminant [[hepatitis]] and death. One case was rechallenged with a positive outcome.
 
<u>Blood and Lymphatic System</u>: Increased bleeding time.
 
<u>Immune System</u>: [[Lupus erythematosis]].
 
<u>Nervous System</u>: [[Apnea]], [[coma]].
 
<u>Renal and Urinary</u>: [[Hyponatremia]]/inappropriate ADH secretion, [[kidney failure]].<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = PROCAINAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE INJECTION, SOLUTION [HOSPIRA, INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=17e47845-daad-434c-a784-6d3875b0d704 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 11 March 2014 }}</ref>
