Resumo

Both drugs prolong the QT interval, and fluconazole may also reduce dofetilide elimination, raising its levels. This markedly increases the risk of torsades de pointes and fatal ventricular arrhythmia.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Dofetilide and Fluconazole 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.

Dofetilide belongs to Cardiovascular; Fluconazole belongs to Anti Fungals.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Additive QT prolongation, with possible fluconazole-related increase in dofetilide exposure via CYP3A4 and renal transport inhibition.

O que fazer

Avoid the combination; use a non-QT-prolonging antifungal. If systemic azole therapy is essential, consider an alternative antiarrhythmic.
