jection 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. Cyclobenzaprine is structurally similar to tricyclic antidepressants. Tricyclic antidepressants have been reported to prolong the QT interval, especially when given in excessive doses (or in overdosage settings). Cyclobenzaprine is associated with a possible risk of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes (TdP), particularly in the event of acute overdose.
Darunavir: The plasma concentrations of hydrodolasetron (primary dolasetron metabolite) may be elevated when dolasetron is administered concurrently with darunavir. Clinical monitoring for adverse effects, such as headache or cardiovascular effects, is recommended during coadministration. Darunavir is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitor, while hydrodolasetron is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 substrate.
Darunavir; Cobicistat: The plasma concentrations of hydrodolasetron (primary dolasetron metabolite) may be elevated when dolasetron is administered concurrently with darunavir. Clinical monitoring for adverse effects, such as headache or cardiovascular effects, is recommended during coadministration. Darunavir is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitor, while hydrodolasetron is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 substrate. The plasma concentrations of hydrodolasetron (primary dolasetron metabolite) may be elevated when dolasetron is administered concurrently with cobicistat. Clinical monitoring for adverse effects, such as headache or cardiovascular effects, is recommended during coadministration. Cobicistat is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitor, while hydrodolasetron is a CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 substrate.
Dasabuvir; Ombitasvir; Paritaprevir; Ritonavir: The use of ritonavir could result in QT prolongation. Drugs with a possible risk for QT prolongation and TdP that should be used cautiously and with close monitoring with ritonavir include dolasetron.
Dasatinib: Due to a possible risk for QT prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP), dolasetron and dasatinib should be used together cautiously. Dolasetron has been associated with a dose-dependant prolongation in the QT, PR, and QRS intervals on an electrocardiogram. 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. In vitro studies have shown that dasatinib has the potential to prolong cardiac ventricular repolarization (prolong QT interval). Cautious dasatinib administration is recommended to patients who have or may develop QT prolongation such as patients taking drugs that lead to QT prolongation. In addition, dasatinib is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4. Coadministration of dasatinib with dolasetron, a CYP3A4 substrate, may result in elevated plasma concentrations, causing an increased risk for adverse events, such as QT prolongation.
