Key result
Combined tetracyclic, neuroleptic, and anticholinergic drug interaction caused disturbed consciousness and atypical ventricular tachycardia requiring temporary pacemaker implantation.
Combined tetracyclic, neuroleptic, and anticholinergic drug interactions can cause severe cardiac arrhythmias requiring temporary pacing.
Alerts clinicians to arrhythmia risk with this psychotropic combination; case report leaves open broader applicability and preventive strategies.
A case of combined tetracyclic-neuroleptic and anticholinergic drug interaction is presented. Major clinical signs of intoxication were disturbed consciousness and severe cardiac arrythmias which required temporary pacemaker implantation. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms and drug interactions are discussed.
