K2/spice and Disopyramide Phosphate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

QT INTERVAL-PROLONGING DRUGS

Why this applies to Disopyramide Phosphate

Disopyramide Phosphate falls under QT INTERVAL-PROLONGING DRUGS — the group K2/spice interacts with.

Theoretically, K2/spice might have an additive effect with drugs that prolong the QT interval and increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.
There have been numerous cases of increased QT and corrected QT intervals in patients using K2/spice.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

First, please know that K2/Spice isn't a real supplement. It's plant material sprayed with man-made cannabinoid chemicals, and it has been tied to seizures, psychosis, heart rhythm problems, and even deaths. On its own it's not safe to use.

Here's my specific concern with disopyramide. This medicine already works on your heart's electrical timing and can stretch out the QT interval. K2/Spice has been linked to QT prolongation too, so putting them together could add up and raise the chance of a dangerous arrhythmia (an irregular, sometimes life-threatening heartbeat). The evidence here is mostly case reports, so it's more theoretical than proven, but disopyramide is a drug where even small heart-rhythm changes matter. Please don't use K2/Spice, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about any concerns.

  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Evidence the quality of the studies behind the rating (graded A–D)
  • AHigh-quality meta-analysis (quantitative systematic review).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Disopyramide Phosphate page

“Grapefruit is the first thing I would set aside on disopyramide phosphate (Norpace), a medicine that steadies dangerous heart rhythms, because grapefruit juice can push the drug's blood level up. That pattern dominates the page, since 121 of the 169 flagged ingredients act on the same liver enzyme, CYP3A4, raising the drug's level or,…”

About Disopyramide

What Is Disopyramide Used For?

Brand names: Norpace CR, Norpace

Disopyramide — available as Disopyramide Phosphate, Norpace, and Norpace CR — is indicated for the treatment of documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia (a fast, dangerous heart rhythm originating in the lower chambers), that a physician judges to be life-threatening.

Because of its potential to worsen heart rhythm problems, it is generally not recommended for lesser arrhythmias, and it should not be used to treat ventricular premature contractions (extra heartbeats) that cause no symptoms. Treatment is typically started in a hospital setting.
