		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 Halothane and Selpercatinib

Recommended Action
Management		Caution is recommended if selpercatinib is used in combination with other drugs that can prolong the QT interval. An electrocardiogram and serum electrolyte levels should be obtained prior to initiating selpercatinib therapy and periodically during treatment as appropriate based on individual risk factors including diarrhea. Correct hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and/or hypocalcemia before starting treatment and during treatment, as they may be risk factors for ventricular arrhythmias.
