Be sure to tell your doctor about all medications you take for malaria within the 4 weeks before, during, and after treatment with artemether/lumefantrine. Some antimalarial drugs (such as halofantrine) should not be used within one month of treatment with artemether/lumefantrine. In some cases a serious (possibly fatal) drug interaction may occur. Many drugs besides artemether/lumefantrine may affect the heart rhythm (QT prolongation), including other antimalarial drugs (such as quinine, quinidine), antiarrhythmic drugs (such as amiodarone, sotalol, procainamide, disopyramide), antipsychotics (such as pimozide, ziprasidone), macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin), quinolone antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin), among others. Other medications can affect the removal of artemether/lumefantrine from your body, which may affect how this product works. Examples include azole antifungals (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole), mefloquine, HIV NNRTIs (such as efavirenz), HIV protease inhibitors (such as nelfinavir), rifamycins (such as rifabutin, rifampin), ritonavir, St. John's wort, some anti-seizure drugs (such as carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin), among others.

Examples of affected drugs include clomipramine, flecainide, certain beta blockers such as metoprolol, certain tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline and imipramine), among others.
