CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with aprepitant or its prodrug, fosaprepitant, may increase the plasma concentrations of cisapride. The mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism by aprepitant. High plasma levels of cisapride have been associated with prolongation of the QT interval, which has led to cases of ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and torsade de pointes as well as cardiac arrest and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Given the potential for serious and life-threatening adverse cardiac events associated with increased plasma levels of cisapride, concomitant use of aprepitant or fosaprepitant is considered contraindicated.
