Sintesi
Ziprasidone is known to prolong the QT interval, and its labeling advises against combination with other QT-prolonging drugs. Adding levofloxacin increases the risk of torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Levofloxacin and Ziprasidone are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.
Levofloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Ziprasidone belongs to Central Nervous System.
Perché avviene
Additive blockade of cardiac potassium channels delaying ventricular repolarization.
Cosa fare
Avoid the combination and use a non-QT-prolonging antibiotic. If a fluoroquinolone is essential, consider an alternative antipsychotic or specialist advice with ECG monitoring.
