QT Drug List

The Arizona CERT (Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics) is an independent research and education center whose mission is to improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce adverse events caused by drug interactions and drugs that prolong the QT interval, especially those affecting women, through research and a broad range of educational programs for medical professionals and consumers.

The center maintains a QT Drug Lists on its website - four separate lists of drugs, based on risk category, that may prolong the QT interval.
1. Drugs with Risk of Torsades de Pointes
2. Drugs with Possible Risk of Torsades de Pointes
3. Drugs to be Avoided by Congenital Long QT patients Torsades de Pointes
4. Drugs Unlikely to Cause Torsades de Pointes
