Abstract

The article considers the use of flecainide, an antiarrhythmic agent. The results of comparing the bioequivalence of Lixarit, flecainide acetate generic drug (flecainide acetate, 100 mg tablets, Laboratorios Normon SA, Spain), and Apocard®, flecainide acetate reference drug (Health Care Ltd, UK, 100 mg tablets), are presented.
