Drugs in neuropsychiatric diseases
Antidepressants:
- Do not combine citalopram or escitalopram with hydroxychloroquine due to risk of torsades de pointes by increasing the QT interval
Anxiolytics:
- Use of hydroxyzine with hydroxychloroquine is contraindicated due to the torsadogenic risk
Antipsychotics:
- Increased torsadogenic potential of most neuroleptics with hydroxychloroquine but combination not contraindicated
Addiction medication:
- Methadone not recommended with hydroxychloroquine due to dose dependent cardiotoxicity like torsades de pointes
Anti migraines:
- Use of azithromycin is contraindicated with ergot derivatives, ergotamine and dihydroergotamine
Antiepileptics:
- Risk of interactions from old anticonvulsants including but not limited to phenytoin and phenobarbital due to enzyme inducing effects
