Quifenadine (, trade name: Fenkarol, Фенкарол) is a 2nd generation antihistamine drug, marketed mainly in post-Soviet countries. Chemically, it is a quinuclidine derivative.
The drug has antiarrhythmic properties, probably due to the presence of a quinuclidine nucleus in the molecule's core. It acts as a calcium channel blocker and influences the activity of potassium channels. In children with cardiac arrhythmia, combination therapy with quifenadone and either amiodarone or propafenone was found to be more effective than monotherapy with either amiodarone or propafenone.
