Has anyone ever acquired torsades de pointes by drinking too much tonic water???
There’s no studies on it that I could find and inquiring minds want to know.
So I was wandering through the depths of tumblr and stumbled across this post and oh my god guess who knows the answer to this ancient question
Had a patient with malaria recently and there was no quinine to be had in my city so out of curiosity I calculated the dose in tonic water:
In the US, quinine in tonic water is limited to 83mg/liter, and since the dose per the CDC is 650mg PO TID, the patient would have needed to drink 7.8 liters of tonic water 3 times daily.
If a patient who was drinking a lot of modern tonic water developed torsades, I’d recommend evaluating for hypomagnesia and hypokalemia due to volume status before looking at the quinine as the cause.
I realize that you’re a lot further in your career now and you already realize this about tonic water. I just got excited that I could answer this random drug question from your student era.
Sometimes it feels like there’s too much random trivia in the brain and you’ve gotta let it leak out, which is why we’re on tumblr.
And this is why I give up an call pharmacy half the time when it comes to the crazy stuff. Because you guys always have a way of knowing how much of something is in something else and viola! Magic!
I haven’t thought about this in ages!!! Thanks for the info!!! =-)
Jfjskkd so I got my new prescription today for Suboxone and I went to cut the pills in half like normal, since I do a half at night and half in the morning. Well, got to the second of two tabs and my pill cutter exploded. So I called them and was like hey in the future could we just do the same total in 2mg tablets rather than 8mg tablets? And she sort of paused like weird question but okay. And I was like I break the pills in half and I almost got diced by the pill cutter
And I hear this little chuckle in the background followed by a much louder “of course!” followed by more laughter. Which like, can’t blame them for it. I laughed pretty hysterically. After I got over the fear that I almost dropped a brand new prescription of Suboxone down the drain and would have had to wait until Friday to refill it.

WASHINGTON, DC—Citing new research from the Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) that indicates physicians prescribe drugs they learned about in medical school at a far higher rate than those they did not, Washington Medical School has announced its popular Pharmacology course will be immediately and permanently removed from its curriculum. “The data is […]

LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — I had an opportunity to look at a new transgender care article for pharmacists to be published this January in the medical journal The American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy. It urges pharmacists to educate themselves on all things trans health and take an active role with our health care. The article, “Pharmacists Caring For Transgender Persons,” is a…
