Resumo
Clarithromycin raises astemizole concentrations and, together with the intrinsic QT effect of both drugs, may cause torsades de pointes and sudden death. The combination is contraindicated. Astemizole has been withdrawn in many markets, so the interaction is mainly of historical relevance.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Astemizole and Clarithromycin 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.
Por que acontece
Clarithromycin inhibits CYP3A4-mediated metabolism of astemizole and also prolongs QT through IKr blockade, giving pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic synergy.
O que fazer
Do not combine. Use a non-sedating antihistamine without QT liability, such as fexofenadine, loratadine or cetirizine.
O que perguntar ao farmacêutico
- Is there an alternative to one of these two medicines for me?
- If both are essential, who is monitoring me and how often?
- Which symptoms mean I should stop and seek help straight away?
