Majorvia Amisulpride and Imipramine
What happens
Amisulpride can cause dose- and concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval. Theoretically, coadministration with other agents that can prolong the QT interval may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.
What to do
Caution and close clinical monitoring (e.g., electrocardiogram, serum electrolytes) are recommended if amisulpride is used in combination with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval. Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.
