A member asked:

I was given azitrhomycin for tonsillitis and have tachycardia and mvp? any bad reaction? i read it could be bad for people with heart rhythm problems.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Azithromycin: This drug can rarely cause rhythm disturbances, usually in people who have specific heart abnormalities or are taking certain drugs. Your situation as listed should be low risk for problems with azithromycin.
