treatment of ventricular arrhythmia. Lupus
erythematosus-like syndrome, agranulocytosis,
hemolytic anemia, and heart block are also 763.(b and c) Beta-carotene and rhodopsin,
reported side effects of the drug. derivatives of vitamin A, help with visual adaptation
to darkness. Physiological roles of other derivatives
758.(b) Procainamide and Hydralazine may cause are as follows:
SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). It is more
likely to occur in patients with slow acetylators. Derivative Its Function
Arthritis, polyarthralgia, pleuritic pain, myalgia, skin

759.(c) Disopyramide (Norpace) is classified as a
class IA antiarrhythmic agent. It is indicated for the Retinoic acid Promotes the growth,
treatment of life-threatening ventricular differentiation and maintenance
arrhythmia. It has a powerful negative inotropic of epithelial tissues

effect that is highly contraindicated for patients
suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF). 764. (b) Calcium gluconate has the lowest amount
of elementally calcium (4.6 mEqs). Below is the

761.(c) Class IC antiarrhythmic agents such as Calcium chloride 13.6
Flecainide, Encainide and Propafenone should be
reserved for life-threatening arrhythmia because of
their profound negative inotropic action. 765. (b) Quinidine is an alkaline drug in nature, and
