MeSH Heading: Sodium Channel Blockers
Tree Number(s): D27.505.519.562.750; D27.505.954.411.720
Unique ID: D026941
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D026941
Annotation: coordinate with DIURETICS if pertinent
Scope Note: A class of drugs that act by inhibition of sodium influx through cell membranes. Blockade of sodium channels slows the rate and amplitude of initial rapid depolarization, reduces cell excitability, and reduces conduction velocity.
Entry Version: NA CHANNEL BLOCK
Entry Term(s): Channel Blockers, Sodium; Sodium Channel Blocker; Sodium Channel Inhibitor; Sodium Channel Inhibitors
Previous Indexing: Ion Channels (1982-1988); Sodium Channels/antagonists & inhibitors (1988-2001)
