A member asked:
I'm on methadone. i've been diagnosed with qtc prolongation. what is a safe number? my doctor has decreased my dose a lot to lower my numbers.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No specific number: Long qT is a theoretical risk of heart rhythm abnormality. Different meds can interact and make it worse. Regardless, being on a lower dose of methadone is a good thing.
