Resumo

Both drugs can prolong the QT interval, so using them together raises the chance of clinically significant QTc prolongation and torsades de pointes. The risk is greater with electrolyte disturbances, cardiac disease or other QT-prolonging drugs.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
