  • Title: Possible interaction between fluoxetine and pimozide causing sinus bradycardia.
    Author: Ahmed I, Dagincourt PG, Miller LG, Shader RI.
    Journal: Can J Psychiatry; 1993 Feb; 38(1):62-3. PubMed ID: 8448725.
    Abstract:
    Fluoxetine has been reported to have interactions with antipsychotics and other antidepressants with symptoms of toxicity of these drugs. We report a case of a possible interaction with pimozide which led to a potentially life threatening bradycardia. Careful monitoring should be done when these two drugs are prescribed at the same time, especially in the elderly and in patients with cardiac disease.
