Wish I would have known this risk when I first started treatment and I wouldn't be dealing with Prolonged QT today.

I believe Biaxin can do the same thing. So your problem didn't go away once you stopped the drug?

I had problems with the fluoroquinolones too. Especially Avelox.

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY is one CAUSE listed in the article as to why this can happen.

Several posts here about QT - and what can help.

MAGNESIUM, HAWTHORN & FISH OIL are the best helpers. More detail here:

Especially for those who have trouble tolerating pharmacueticals that alter QT rhythm . . . or those who want guidance with herbs (like Hawthorn) which can help:
