The second product, Tocainide Hydrochloride, is an antiarrhythmic agent, similar to lidocaine in structure and action, which is used in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. The third product, Cloxacillin Benzathine, is a semisynthetic, penicillinase-resistant penicillin, used primarily in the treatment of infections due to penicillinase-producing staphylococci.
