A member asked:
Is macrobid (antibiotic) safe or unsafe for people with a pre-existing prolonged qt interval? will it prolong qt even more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe in Long QT: Always tell prescribing doc about anything & everything you're taking, including dietary supplements. Also tell him/her about conditions that might affect medication choice eg allergies & abnormal heart conditions eg Family History of sudden cardiac death. Check out http://www.sads.org.uk/drugs_to_avoid.htm for list of medications to avoid in long QT syndrome.
