Disopyramide-induced hypoglycaemia and increased serum insulin

M S Croxson et al. N Z Med J. .

Abstract

A patient treated with disopyramide presented with hypoglycaemia, a raised serum insulin level and died of pneumonia. From these findings and a review of 10 case reports, we propose that disopyramide causes hypoglycaemia by stimulation of insulin release as described for the antimalarial drugs quinine and quinidine.
