Dr. prescribed me z-pac. i have prolapsed mitral valve...with occasional pvcs. does taking this med increase my chances of having a cardiac episode?

The Z Pac: is safe for short term (single course of 5 days)/ This amount/length of therapy should not have any effect on your heart! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
