Resumo

Both drugs prolong the QT interval, and quinine may also reduce dofetilide renal elimination by competing for cationic tubular secretion. This raises dofetilide levels and the risk of torsades de pointes, a potentially fatal arrhythmia.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Dofetilide and Quinine 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; Quinine belongs to Anti Parasitic.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Additive QT prolongation combined with competition for renal tubular cationic secretion that increases dofetilide exposure.

O que fazer

Avoid concurrent use and choose a non-QT-prolonging antimalarial or alternative antiarrhythmic. If quinine is essential, hold dofetilide and use continuous ECG monitoring.
