Abstract:
We report a 84 year old man taking terodiline who had torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia with prolongation of the QT-interval. The QT-interval became normal after withdrawal of terodiline. Worldwide, the manufacturers have received a total of 37 reports of ventricular tachyarrhythmia during the past months, 28 of which were torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia and have decided to recall the product temporarily.
