"Washington: An antibiotic used to treat common infections may carry serious heart risks, scientists have warned.
The drug, called azithromycin but sold under the brand names Zithromax and Zmax as Z-Pak capsules, is prescribed for infections of the ears, lungs, sinuses, skin, throat, and reproductive organs, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
But the antibiotic can interfere with the heart`s electrical activity, disturbing its rhythm with potentially fatal consequences, ABC News reported."
