Resumo

Thioridazine is strongly associated with dose-related QT prolongation and torsades de pointes, and its labeling contraindicates use with other QT-prolonging drugs. Adding levofloxacin compounds the arrhythmia risk.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Levofloxacin and Thioridazine 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.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

Additive blockade of cardiac potassium channels causing marked delay in ventricular repolarization.
