Mechanism of Siponimod-Macimorelin Interaction (Severity Level: Major)
Increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph
Drug Name		Siponimod				Macimorelin
Mechanism		Bradycardia				Prolong QT interval
Key Mechanism Factor 1
		Factor Name		Ventricular arrhythmias
		Factor Description		Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that cause your heart's lower chambers to pump blood instead of pumping it. This can limit or stop your heart from supplying blood to your body. While some of these arrhythmias are harmless and do not cause symptoms, others can have serious, even fatal, effects on your body.
Mechanism Description		Increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias by the combination of Siponimod and Macimorelin

Recommended Action
Management		Siponimod has not been studied in patients receiving drugs that can prolong the QT interval. Because bradycardia and AV block are recognized risk factors for QT prolongation and torsade de pointes arrhythmia, treatment with siponimod should generally not be initiated in patients who are concurrently treated with QT prolonging drugs with known arrhythmogenic properties.
