What this interaction means in plain words
Aripiprazole and Telavancin have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Aripiprazole belongs to Central Nervous System; Telavancin belongs to Anti Bacterial.
Why it happens
Possible additive QT prolongation; aripiprazole's contribution is small.
What to do
Obtain a baseline ECG in patients with cardiac risk factors and correct potassium and magnesium. No routine action otherwise.
