Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that there are no interactions between olanzapine and flecainide.
So, it is safe to take both these drugs concomitantly.
Nevertheless, you should know that olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic which like all the other drugs of this pharmacological class, can lead to an increased risk for QT interval prolongation and possible cardiac arrhythmia.
This adverse effect is more common when higher doses of olanzapine are used.
Coming to this point it is important performing periodically every 6 months a resting ECG and blood electrolytes, just to be sure that everything is OK.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. iliri
