Résumé

Both drugs prolong the QT interval and the combination increases the risk of torsades de pointes. Risk is greatest with intravenous ondansetron at higher doses and in patients with electrolyte disturbance, bradycardia, heart disease or female sex. Amiodarone's long half-life means the risk persists after discontinuation.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Amiodarone and Ondansetron can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Amiodarone belongs to Cardiovascular; Ondansetron belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient

Additive blockade of the hERG potassium channel (IKr) causing delayed ventricular repolarisation.

Conduite à tenir

Prefer a non-QT-prolonging antiemetic where possible. If ondansetron is needed, use the lowest dose, obtain a baseline ECG and correct potassium and magnesium.
