Sintesi

Nilotinib carries a boxed warning for QT prolongation and sudden death, and quinine adds further QT-prolonging effect. Quinine may also raise nilotinib levels through CYP3A4 inhibition, which compounds the risk.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Nilotinib and Quinine 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.

Nilotinib belongs to Oncology; Quinine belongs to Anti Parasitic.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Additive hERG-mediated QT prolongation, with possible CYP3A4 inhibition by quinine increasing nilotinib exposure.

Cosa fare

Do not use together; choose an alternative antimalarial or defer nilotinib if quinine is essential. If unavoidable, use continuous ECG monitoring and electrolyte correction.
