Quetiapine has been reported to prolong the QT interval, and has been used as a positive control in thorough QT studies
Escitalopram
TdP is usually self-limited and typically manifests itself in convulsions, dizziness, and syncope
When prescribing drugs associated with QT prolongation, three key factors should be considered: patient-related risk factors (eg, female sex, age >65 years, uncorrected electrolyte disturbances); the potential risk and degree of QT prolongation associated with the proposed drug; and co-prescribed medicines that could increase the risk of QT prol Increase in increments of 25 mg-50 mg divided two or three times on Days 2 and 3 to range of 300-400 mg by Day 4

In fact, the most common off-label use of Seroquel is for the treatment of anxiety disorders
In clinical trials, quetiapine was not associated with a persistent increase in QT intervals
Three cases from the literature included treatment with risperidone, 46-48 3 with quetiapine, 49-52 and 2 with ziprasidone

Since then, sales of antipsychotic medicine have grown dramatically, as have the various Seroquel uses
Seroquel: biochemical profile of a potential atypical antipsychotic سيروكويل مخدرات
Macimorelin causes an increase of ~11 msec in the corrected QT interval
The majority of patients in this trial taking SEROQUEL were dosed in a range between 400 and 800 mg per day
The risk of this adverse effect is not always considered by health care pain specialists, who sometimes SEROQUEL is an antagonist at multiple neurotransmitter receptors in the brain: serotonin 5HT1A and 5HT2 (IC50s=717 & 148nM respectively), dopamine D1 and D2 (IC50s=1268 & 329nM respectively), histamine H1 (IC50=30nM), and adrenergic α1 and α2 receptors (IC50s=94 & 271nM, respectively)

In July 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directed AstraZeneca to add a warning to the quetiapine (Seroquel, AstraZeneca, Wilmington, USA) labeling about QT
Ziprasidone does prolong the QT interval, but there is no evidence to suggest that this leads to torsade de pointes or sudden death

Quetiapine has been reported to prolong the QT interval, and has been used as a positive control in thorough QT studies
Many drugs prolong ventricular repolarization, potentially giving rise to a prolonged QT interval in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and to the polymorphic
When prescribing drugs associated with QT prolongation, three key factors should be considered: patient-related risk factors (eg, female sex, age >65 years
A prolonged QTc often arouses concern in clinical practice, as it can be followed, in rare cases, by the life-threatening polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia called torsade de pointes (TdP)
pains in the stomach, side, or abdomen, possibly radiating to the back
In clinical trials, quetiapine was not associated with a persistent increase in QT intervals
Seroquel may be taken with or without food
DRUGS TO BE AVOIDED IN LQTS
A vital aspect of this electrical system is depolarization and repolarization
Observational studies provide consistent evidence that prolonged QT interval is associated with higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality ()

In some cases, more serious side effects may occur
However, the QT effect was not systematically evaluated in a thorough QT study
Long QT syndrome is often grouped into two main categories, depending on the cause
