CredibleMeds.org: What does it offer?

Since the 1990's, when numerous non-cardiac drugs were first recognized to have the potential to prolong the QT interval and cause torsades de pointes(TdP), clinicians, drug regulators, drug developers and clinical investigators have become aware of the complexities of assessing evidence and determining TdP causality for the many drugs being marketed or under development. To facilitate better understanding, the Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics, known as AZCERT, has developed the CredibleMeds.org website which includes QTdrugs, a listing of over 220 drugs placed in four risk categories based on their association with QT prolongation and TdP.
