| Class I C | only blocks phase 0 | Flecainide |
| Procaineamide | metabolized to NAPA | |
| Carbamazepine | tricyclic SE: H1 receptor blocker, M receptor blocker, Na-channel blocker, K-channel blocker, alpha receptor blocker, 5-HT blocker | |
| TCA side effects | H1 receptor blocker: sedation M receptor blocker: dry mouth Na channel blocker: arrhythmia K channel blocker: arrhythmia alpha receptor blocker: hypotension 5-HT: weight gain | |
| 3A4 substrates | Ca channel blockers; HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, macrolide antibiotics, benzodiazepines, HIV antivirals, antihistamines | |
| Phenytoin | 3A4 inducer, Na and Ca channel blocker, gum hyperplasia, megaloblastic anemia (folate/B12 def), zero order kinetics | |
