Mechanism of action
Procoralan acts as a specific heart rate-lowering agent. It functions by selectively inhibiting the If current in the sinoatrial node, which dictates the heart's pace. This slowing of the heart rate allows more time for blood flow to the heart muscle, helping manage cardiac work efficiently.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Should not be used during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding is not recommended due to potential excretion into milk.
