What Treatment Options are Available for Procainamide Toxicity?
Treatment of procainamide toxicity is primarily supportive and symptomatic. Discontinuation of the drug is the first step. Administration of intravenous fluids and electrolyte correction may be necessary to stabilize the patient. In cases of severe cardiac toxicity, interventions like sodium bicarbonate infusion can help counteract the ECG changes. In life-threatening situations, extracorporeal removal techniques such as dialysis may be considered, although they are rarely required.
