When I looked it up it said that both can prolong the QT interval. But, so many drugs that prolong the QT interval are prescribed together!
In general, I think it's good to find a very knowledgeable pharmacist that you trust. My pharmacist has a PhD in pharmacy and is a professor at the local pharmacy school. To find a good pharmacist like that, go to the website of the local pharmacy school in your area (if you have one) and look at the list of teaching faculty. Many of the faculty will have their own pharmacies. These pharmacists will be the cream of the crop.
