Moderate

mefloquine mavorixafor

Applies to: mefloquine and mavorixafor

Concomitant use of mavorixafor together with mefloquine may increase the risk of experiencing a change in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation, which can result in irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening. You might be more susceptible to this risk if you have heart problems, congenital long QT syndrome, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience an irregular heartbeat or feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint during treatment. Speak with your doctor or healthcare provider if you have any questions. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.
