Sintesi
Systemic pentamidine can prolong the QT interval and has been linked to torsades de pointes, and ziprasidone has similar effects. Using both increases the risk of serious ventricular arrhythmias. Pentamidine can also cause electrolyte disturbances that worsen this risk.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Pentamidine 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.
Pentamidine belongs to Anti Parasitic; Ziprasidone belongs to Central Nervous System.
Perché avviene
Additive QT prolongation through cardiac repolarization delay, with pentamidine-related hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia as a contributor.
Cosa fare
Avoid concurrent use; hold ziprasidone or choose another anti-infective if possible. If unavoidable, correct electrolytes beforehand and monitor ECG continuously.
