Major Probable

描述

Hydroxychloroquine and ondansetron both prolong cardiac repolarization via hERG blockade; concurrent use substantially elevates arrhythmia risk.

机制

Additive IKr (hERG) blockade prolongs QTc in a dose-dependent manner; hydroxychloroquine may also affect sodium and calcium currents.

临床意义

Both drugs carry independent QT prolongation warnings; combination has been linked to torsades de pointes in case reports.

处理措施

Avoid concurrent use; if antiemesis is needed during hydroxychloroquine therapy, choose a non-QT-prolonging agent such as metoclopramide (with its own caveats) or a corticosteroid-based antiemetic strategy.
