Irregular heartbeats due to clarithromycin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irregular heartbeat: There are many causes of irregular heart beats, including some medicines. This can occur because of prolongation of the qt interval, but more importantly, you should contact the physician that prescribed the clarithromycin, so that he or she can change it to something else.
