Atenolol: The clearance of hydrodolasetron, an active metabolite of dolasetron, is decreased when dolasetron mesylate is administered with atenolol.
Atenolol; Chlorthalidone: The clearance of hydrodolasetron, an active metabolite of dolasetron, is decreased when dolasetron mesylate is administered with atenolol.
Atomoxetine: QT prolongation has occurred during therapeutic use of atomoxetine and following overdose. Atomoxetine is considered a drug with a possible risk of torsade de pointes (TdP). Drugs with a possible risk for QT prolongation and TdP that should be used cautiously and with close monitoring with atomoxetine include dolasetron.
Atropine; Benzoic Acid; Hyoscyamine; Methenamine; Methylene Blue; Phenyl Salicylate: Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, use caution when administering dolasetron with other drugs that have serotonergic properties such as methylene blue. If serotonin syndrome is suspected, discontinue dolasetron and concurrent serotonergic agents and initiate appropriate medical treatment. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by rapid development of hyperthermia, hypertension, myoclonus, rigidity, autonomic instability, mental status changes (e.g., delirium or coma), and in rare cases, death.
Azithromycin: Due to an increased risk for QT prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP), caution is advised when administering dolasetron with azithromycin. Dolasetron has been associated with a dose-dependent prolongation in the QT, PR, and QRS intervals on an electrocardiogram. There have been case reports of QT prolongation and TdP with the use of azithromycin in postmarketing reports. Concurrent use may increase the risk fo QT prolongation.
Bedaquiline: Due to the potential for QT prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP), caution is advised when administering bedaquiline with dolasetron. Bedaquiline has been reported to prolong the QT interval. Prior to initiating bedaquiline, obtain serum electrolyte concentrations and a baseline electrocardiogram (ECG). An ECG should also be performed at least 2, 12, and 24 weeks after starting bedaquiline therapy. Dolasetron has been associated with a dose-dependent prolongation in the QT, PR, and QRS intervals on an ECG. Use of dolasetron injection for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is contraindicated because the risk of QT prolongation is higher with the doses required for this indication; when the injection is used at lower doses (i.e., those approved for post-operative nausea and vomiting) or when the oral formulation is used, the risk of QT prolongation is lower and caution is advised.
Benzoic Acid; Hyoscyamine; Methenamine; Methylene Blue; Phenyl Salicylate: Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, use caution when administering dolasetron with other drugs that have serotonergic properties such as methylene blue. If serotonin syndrome is suspected, discontinue dolasetron and concurrent serotonergic agents and initiate appropriate medical treatment. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by rapid development of hyperthermia, hypertension, myoclonus, rigidity, autonomic instability, mental status changes (e.g., delirium or coma), and in rare cases, death.
Bepridil: Dolasetron has been associated with a dose-dependant prolongation in the QT, PR, and QRS intervals on an electrocardiogram. Because of the potential for torsade de pointes (TdP), use of bepridil with dolasetron |
