Sodium Channel Blockers

A class of drugs that act by inhibition of sodium influx through cell membranes. Blockade of sodium channels slows the rate and amplitude of initial rapid depolarization, reduces cell excitability, and reduces conduction velocity.

Also Known As:

Sodium Channel Inhibitors; Blocker, Sodium Channel; Channel Blocker, Sodium; Channel Inhibitor, Sodium; Channel Inhibitors, Sodium; Inhibitor, Sodium Channel; Inhibitors, Sodium Channel; Channel Blockers, Sodium; Sodium Channel Blocker; Sodium Channel Inhibitor
