What common side effect is associated with Disopyramide?

Diarrhea
Agranulocytosis
Anticholinergic side effects
QT prolongation

The correct answer is: Anticholinergic side effects

Disopyramide is a medication that is used to treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. While it is generally well-tolerated, it does have some common side effects that patients may experience. One of these is anticholinergic side effects, which can include dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and can be managed by drinking plenty of fluids and using over-the-counter remedies. It is important to note that while some of the other options, such as diarrhea and agranulocytosis, can be side effects of certain medications, they are not associated with the use of Disopyramide specifically. Additionally, QT prolongation, or a lengthening of the QT interval on an electrocardiogram, is a potential side effect of Disopyramide, but it is less common than anticholinergic side effects. Therefore, C is the best answer as it is the most accurate and relevant choice related to Disopyramide's common side effects.
