A member asked:

Got prescribed azithro 250 mg (8 pills) to take all at once to remove a std, but i read on a site that it can lead to sudden cardiac arrest, im afraid?

Don't worry: It is very common to treat chlamydia with one 2 gram dose of azithromycin and the risk of a severe allergic reaction is no greater than for any other medication. Hope this reassures you. Be well.
