Heart-risking antibiotics
The study indicates that some common antibiotics, such as azithromycin and clarithromycin, can affect the electrical activity of the heart, especially when used alongside other medications that influence heart rhythms, like treatments for arrhythmias and antidepressants. These drugs target potassium channels within heart cells, prolonging the QT interval on an electrocardiogram, which increases the risk of cardiac rhythm disturbances, particularly when combined with other medications affecting electrical activity. It is advised not to take these antibiotics without medical consultation, especially for patients with a history of arrhythmias.
