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.

Aprindine hydrochloride was administered IV and orally to 20 dogs with ventricular tachycardia. Seventeen of the 20 dogs had been unsuccessfully treated with conventional antiarrhythmic drugs. Fifteen of the 20 dogs converted to sinus rhythm after IV aprindine therapy, 4 dogs demonstrated marked slowing of their ventricular tachycardia, and 1 dog showed an increase in the rate of ventricular tachycardia. Emesis, ataxia, salivation, and nystamus were observed in 7 dogs after IV aprindine therapy. One dog developed clinical and laboratory evidence compatible with acute hepatitis.
