Could I Take Azithromycin While Taking Zoloft?

Posted on Thu, 3 Feb 2022

Question: I was wondering if I could take Azithromycin while taking Zoloft? I have no heart issues in my family and I am very healthy.

Brief Answer:
Yes you can but be cautious!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is safe to take Zoloft alongside azithromycin. However, there is a small risk of irregular heart rhythm as they both prolong a segment of the heart electrical activity. For how long do you plan on taking Azithromycin?

I wish you well and feel free to follow up with me if you have any further worries
