Using quiNIDine and ritonavir is not recommended. Using these drugs may cause serious problems with your heart. Call your doctor if you have pain or discomfort in your chest, feel short of breath, feel dizzy, lightheaded, or feel very weak. It is important that you tell your healthcare provider about all other medications that you are using including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using your medications without talking to your doctor first.

CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with ritonavir may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of some antiarrhythmic agents such as amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, and quinidine. The proposed mechanism is ritonavir inhibition of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6, the isoenzymes responsible for the metabolic clearance of these agents. Although clinical data are lacking, the interaction could conceivably lead to serious and/or life-threatening reactions including QT interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and torsade de pointes.

MANAGEMENT: The use of ritonavir with amiodarone, bepridil, flecainide, propafenone, or quinidine is considered contraindicated.
