Sodium Channel #drugs #pharmacodynamics #pharmacology

Sodium channel can be voltage-gated, receptor-operated (ligand-gated) or leakage channel etc. Drugs like local anaesthetic agents, antiarrhythmic agents, antiepileptic drugs etc. act as sodium channel blockers. The opening of the sodium channel causes depolarization.
