Abstract
QTc prolongation is associated with arsenic trioxide (ATO) treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Olanzapine was safely co-administered with ATO to treat co-morbid psychiatric diagnoses. It is important to closely monitor for drug-drug interactions and cumulative drug adverse effects in patients receiving oncology agents and psychotropics. Further research is indicated to determine risk/benefit profiles of psychotropics co-administered with ATO. In light of current limited data, co-administration of psychotropics with ATO should be reported presenting both instances wherein no interactions are noted and those with adverse effects.
