Explanation

Answer: C - Moricizine is a sodium channel blocker used to treat ventricular arrhythmias. Arrhythmias and thrombophlebitis are potential side effects. Pseudomembranous colitis is associated with the use of certain anti-infectives and not with sodium channel blockers. Moricizine is also associated with adverse cerebrovascular events.
