There were no differences between remoxipride and thioridazine on dystonia, hypokinesia, dyskinesia, rigidity and akathisia. The results indicate that remoxipride has similar antipsychotic efficacy to thioridazine but causes fewer side effects. [doi.org]

Over the Edge NUEDEXTA is contraindicated in patients receiving drugs that both prolong QT interval and are metabolized by CYP2D6 e.g., thioridazine and pimozide and should not be used concomitantly with other drugs containing quinidine, quinine, or mefloquine [wordnik.com]

Thioridazine has an established risk of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes (TdP). [pdr.net]

Electrocardiogram changes were significantly more frequent in the thioridazine group (n 254, 2 RCTs, RR 2.38, CI 1.6 to 3.6, NNH 4 CI 3 to 10). Six RCTs (total n 344) randomised thioridazine against atypical antipsychotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Electrocardiogram changes were significantly higher in the thioridazine group, which fits with the guidelines of monitoring patients for cardiovascular abnormalities. [dx.doi.org]
