Can I take Cinnarizine dimenhydrinate and Quinine together?

Why this happens

Both medicines can affect the electrical activity of the heart (prolonging the QT interval). Additionally, both have 'anticholinergic' effects, meaning they block certain nerve signals, leading to increased side effects.

You should speak to your doctor before taking these medicines together. They may want to check your heart health (ECG) or suggest an alternative treatment. Seek medical help immediately if you feel dizzy, faint, or notice a fluttering in your chest.
