QT prolongation. Obtain ECG before treatment initiation & mthly during treatment. Discontinue if QTcF >500 ms before 1st dose or during treatment. More frequent ECG monitoring if QTc interval duration exceeds 450/470 ms for male/female patients during treatment. Very frequent ECG monitoring in patients who commence treatment w/ serum albumin <3.4 g/dL or experience a fall in serum albumin into this range during treatment. Caution in patients w/ known congenital prolongation of the QTc-interval or any clinical condition known to prolong the QTc interval or QTc >500 ms; history of symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias or w/ clinically relevant bradycardia; any predisposing cardiac conditions for arrhythmia eg, severe HTN, left ventricular hypertrophy (including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) or congestive cardiac failure accompanied by reduced left ventricle ejection fraction; electrolyte disturbances, particularly hypokalaemia, hypocalcaemia or hypomagnesaemia. Concomitant use w/ medicinal products known to prolong the QTc interval, including antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, disopyramide, dofetilide, ibutilide, procainamide, quinidine, hydroquinidine, sotalol); neuroleptics (eg, phenothiazines, sertindole, sultopride, chlorpromazine, haloperidol, mesoridazine, pimozide, or thioridazine), antidepressive agents; certain antimicrobial agents (eg, macrolides, moxifloxacin, sparfloxacin, triazole antifungal agents, pentamidine, saquinavir); certain non-sedating antihistamines (eg, terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine); cisapride, droperidol, domperidone, bepridil, diphemanil, probucol, levomethadyl, methadone, vinca alkaloids, arsenic trioxide. Co-administration w/ strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (lopinavir/ritonavir) or fluoroquinolone. Contains lactose. Patients w/ rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Do not drive or use machines in case of any adverse reaction w/ potential impact on the ability to perform activities (eg, headache & tremor). Not recommended in patients w/ moderate to severe hepatic impairment; severe renal impairment.
