Resumo

Both agents prolong the QT interval, and the combination markedly increases the risk of torsades de pointes. Amiodarone's long half-life means the risk persists after it is stopped.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Amiodarone and Moxifloxacin 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.

Amiodarone belongs to Cardiovascular; Moxifloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

Additive blockade of cardiac potassium channels (IKr) resulting in delayed repolarization.

O que fazer

Avoid the combination and choose a non-QT-prolonging antibiotic. If it cannot be avoided, monitor ECG closely and keep potassium and magnesium within normal range.
