This document provides a comprehensive pharmacovigilance and clinical safety synthesis of ibogaine integrating controlled human trials, systematic reviews, mechanistic studies, case reports, forensic analyses, and pharmacogenetic data.
It demonstrates that while low-dose, medically supervised ibogaine protocols have been used with relative safety in selected populations, there exists a narrow and unpredictable therapeutic window driven by:This document is divided into following sections:
- Dose-dependent cardiotoxicity (QTc prolongation and malignant arrhythmias)
- Long-lived active metabolites with delayed toxicity
- High interindividual variability in metabolism
- Substantial product purity and dosing uncertainty
- Compounding risks from electrolyte abnormalities, comorbidities, and polypharmacy
