What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Chlorpromazine and macimorelin

Macimorelin's FDA label of February 18, 2026 names chlorpromazine in its drug interactions section; the chlorpromazine label PlainMeds reads does not name macimorelin. The macimorelin label: “DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Drugs that Prolong QT Interval Co-administration of MACRILEN with drugs that prolong the QT interval may lead to development of torsade de pointes-type ventricular tachycardia.”
