Arsenic trioxide has a boxed warning for QT prolongation, torsades de pointes and complete AV block. Granisetron can also lengthen the QT interval, so the combination increases arrhythmia risk.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Arsenic trioxide and Granisetron 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.

Arsenic trioxide belongs to Oncology; Granisetron belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.
