A member asked:
Are there any antibiotics that don't cause ecg changes ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Most don't. A few have the potential to prolong the qt interval. Zithromax and Levaquin (levofloxacin) are the 2 that have been implicated most recently.

Most do not: The new warnings about Azithromycin and Cipro (ciprofloxacin) are only directed at people with heart disease or with specific drug-drug interactions.
