Mechanism		Prolong QT interval				Prolong QT interval
Key Mechanism Factor 1
		Factor Name		QT interval
		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 Amisulpride and Panobinostat

Recommended Action
Management		Concomitant use of panobinostat with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval should generally be avoided. Anti-emetic drugs with known QT prolonging risk such as dolasetron, granisetron, ondansetron, palonosetron, and tropisetron may be used with frequent ECG monitoring. ECG and serum electrolytes, including potassium, magnesium and calcium, should be monitored before starting panobinostat therapy and periodically during treatment as clinically indicated.
