Résumé

Systemic lidocaine, such as intravenous use as an antiarrhythmic, may add to the QT-prolonging and proarrhythmic potential of pimozide. Pimozide is a high-risk QT-prolonging drug and torsades de pointes is a concern. Local anesthetic use gives minimal systemic exposure and is less relevant.
