Abby Dunker, PharmD, Emergency Department Clinical Pharmacist, Blessing Hospital, co-authored an article published in the November 2016 issue of Hospital Pharmacy Journal.
The article examined how the use and monitoring of azithromycin, an antibiotic commonly known as Zithromax or Z pack, changed after a March 2013 U.S. Food & Drug Administration public warning that the drug could cause abnormal electrical activity of the heart and could lead to potentially fatal irregular heart rhythm.
