Abstract
Thioridazine-tricyclic antidepressant combination is frequently used because of its anticipated effectiveness in depressions which show retarded and anxious features. Both drugs have an adverse effect on cardiac repolarization. Two cases are presented illustrating life-threatening ventricular arrythmia in patients who ingested both drugs.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
