Ajmaline component is used for treating supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, including diagnostic testing for Brugada syndrome. Almitrine component addresses chronic respiratory conditions with hypoxemia, particularly COPD-related breathing difficulties.
Ajmaline blocks sodium channels in cardiac tissue, prolonging action potential duration and stabilizing cardiac membranes. Almitrine enhances pulmonary ventilation by stimulating peripheral chemoreceptors, improving alveolar oxygen uptake and reducing hypoxemia.
Requires cardiac monitoring during administration due to proarrhythmic risk. Contraindicated in patients with severe conduction abnormalities, uncompensated heart failure, or known hypersensitivity. Should be used with caution in hepatic impairment as both agents undergo hepatic metabolism. May interact with other QT-prolonging medications.
