NotOnThe QT Any More: There's been a big hullabaloo about the possible effects of azithromycin on the heart,other drugs that have similar problems and the danger of combining them,especially if you have a heart problem.Each of these drugs can directly or indirectly affect the heart but there really is a very small chance of it happening,especially if taken for short periods of time.But if worried stop the Coricidin

Don't use OTC: Over the counter cough and cold meds like Coricidin use a shotgun approach combining several medications that don't even work. Usual ingredients: acetaminophen(does work for pain and fever), Dextromethorphan for cough(ineffective), Anti-Histamines(ineffective) and Pseudo ephedrine decongestant(Nasal sprays work much better) Most sinusitis and bronchitis are Viral. WON'T be helped by antibiotics .
