Doctors Continue to Ignore Z-Pak Sudden Death Side Effects
By John Curran
Zithromax (azithromycin) side effects studied over 14 years are 2.5 percent more likely to be fatal than other antibiotic side effects, according to a recent report from Vanderbilt University. In other words, azithromycin cardiac arrest side effects are twice as common as in other antibiotics.
Although millions have taken Zithromax (also known as Z-Pak), and dozens have died, don’t expect doctors to stop reaching for their prescription pads. One Tennessee doctor says he’ll still keep it among his treatment options, in spite of Z-Pak sudden death side effects.
Cardiologist Frank McGrew told a local TV station that he still carries the medication when he goes on trips in case he develops an infection. He’s aware of the research developed in his home state, but noted that similar antibiotics can cause heart problems, though none with the side effects claimed by Zithromax class action lawsuit attorneys. He looks at it as proof that drug interactions are skyrocketing as people take more and more prescriptions.
That’s of little help to people who suffer from a number of Z-Pak heart attack side effects, or other side effects of Zithromax. The full list included in current Zithromax lawsuits include potentially fatal skin diseases like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, as well as heart attack and Zithromax liver failure side effects. In spite of this, the antibiotic Zithromax continues to be one of the most prescribed in the world.
In fact, Pfizer continues to market the product both with advertising to doctors that used to be able to take advantage of junkets, avoiding any mention of Z-Pak side effects, as well as donations to needy countries for a much-needed public relations boost. Doctors throughout the world continue to be unaware or unwilling to accept Zithromax sudden death side effects, especially when the antibiotic is mixed with other medications.
