A member asked:

What do you recommend if i had a fib and was cardioverted and on rythmol (propafenone). family doctor gave me azithromycin. is it ok to take together?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question!: Thank you for being alert and asking this question! You should NOT take these 2 drugs together because of the risk of QT prolongation which can lead to Torsades de pointes tachycardia, a dangerous rhythm disturbance. Call your doctor and ask to be switched to a different antibiotic. Do not take the Azithromycin.
