		Factor Description		Long QT syndrome is a heart signaling disorder that can cause a fast, chaotic heartbeat (arrhythmia). Many people may not exhibit symptoms, and usually the condition is detected during routine medical tests. In others, the most common symptoms include: sudden fainting, palpitations, dizziness, seizures, sudden death.
Mechanism Description		Increased risk of prolong QT interval by the combination of Lumefantrine and Glasdegib

Recommended Action
Management		Coadministration of artemether-lumefantrine with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval should generally be avoided. Caution is recommended when these drugs are used following treatment with artemether-lumefantrine due to the long elimination half-life of lumefantrine (3 to 6 days). Patients should be advised to seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitation, irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or syncope.
