Drug Mode of Action ::  

Antianginal effects not determined, but does not depend on HR or BP reduction; no effect on rate-pressure product at maximal exercise; shown to inhibit cardiac late sodium current (INA) at therapeutic levels

Drug Interactions ::

Increased plasma levels w/ moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. diltiazem, fluconazole, erythromycin), P-glycoprotein inhibitors (e.g. verapamil, ciclosporin) and CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. paroxetine). May increase plasma digoxin concentrations. May increase risk of rhabdomyolysis w/ simvastatin. May increase plasma concentrations of atorvastatin, other statins (e.g. lovastatin) and CYP3A4 substrates w/ narrow therapeutic range (e.g. tacrolimus, sirolimus, everolimus). May increase plasma exposure of metformin. Increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias w/ other drugs that prolong QT interval (e.g. terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine). Potentially Fatal: Increased plasma concentrations leading to increased adverse effects w/ CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. itraconazole, ketoconazole, HIV protease inhibitors, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone). Decreased plasma concentration w/ CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine). Increased risk of QT interval prolongation w/ class 1A (e.g. quinidine) or class III (e.g. dofetilide, sotalol) antiarrhythmics other than amiodarone.
