Risk of QT prolongation through drug interactions between hydroxychloroquine and concomitant drugs prescribed in real world practice

Abstract Hydroxychloroquine has recently received attention as a treatment for COVID-19. However, it may prolong the QTc interval. Furthermore, when hydroxychloroquine is administered concomitantly with other drugs, it can exacerbate the risk of QT prolongation. Nevertheless, the risk of QT prolonga...
