Antidepressants and anxiolytics may enhance sedative effect. Potent inhibitors of or substrates for the hepatic metabolism of mizolastine (e.g. cimetidine, ciclosporin, nifedipine) may alter its metabolism. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias with drugs known to prolong the QT interval e.g. class I and III antiarryhthmics. Increased plasma concentrations with macrolide antibiotics and imidazole antifungals.
