TY - JOUR T1 - AGranulocytosis associated with aprindine therapy AU - Bodenheimer HC, Jr, Samarel AM Y1 - 1979/10/01 N1 - 10.1001/archinte.1979.03630470089027 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 1181 EP - 1182 VL - 139 IS - 10 N2 - Aprindine hydrochloride is an antiarrhythmic drug now under investigation. The drug is most effective in prophylaxis of ventricular dysrhythmias. Previously recognized toxic effects include neurological side effects, nausea, vomiting, as well as a reported association with agranulocytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of agranulocytosis associated with documented elevated serum concentrations of aprindine. Further correlation of drug levels with toxic reactions may help in establishing the mechanism of bone marrow suppression.(Arch Intern Med 139:1181-1182, 1979) SN - 0003-9926 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archinte.1979.03630470089027 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archinte.1979.03630470089027 ER -
