NaMuscla^® is an antimyotonic agent which is approved by the European Medicines Agency to treat symptomatic myotonia in adults with non-dystrophic myotonic disorders. In randomized controlled trials, NaMuscla^® (mexiletine 167 to 500 mg/day ¹ ) has been shown to significantly reduce myotonia compared to placebo, restoring skeletal muscle hyperexcitability through its use-dependent, voltage-gated, sodium channel blocking actions which are independent of the cause of channel dysfunction. This resulted in an improvement in patient quality-of-life and other functional outcomes, with gastro-intestinal discomfort reported as the most common adverse event, demonstrating NaMuscla^® to be safe and well tolerated. ^2,3

The marketing authorization holder for NaMuscla^® in EU is Lupin Europe GmbH.
