हेलोपेरिडोल और पिमोज़ाइड का इंटरैक्शन

Because pimozide prolongs the QT interval of the electrocardiogram it is contraindicated in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias, patients taking other drugs which prolong the QT interval of the electrocardiogram or patients with known hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia (see also PRECAUTIONS - DRUG INTERACTIONS ).

Hyperpyrexia, not associated with the above symptom complex, has been reported with other antipsychotic drugs.

An increased risk cannot be excluded for haloperidol decanoate, other antipsychotics, or other patient populations.

As with other antipsychotic agents, it should be noted that haloperidol may be capable of potentiating CNS depressants such as anesthetics, opioids, and alcohol.
