Can I take 1.5mg and Azithromycin together?

Why this happens

Both medicines have the potential to affect the electrical activity of the heart (specifically, they can 'prolong the QT interval'). When used together, this effect can be added together, making a heart rhythm disturbance more likely.

You should speak to your doctor before taking these together. They will check if you have any existing heart conditions or mineral imbalances (like low potassium) that might make this combination riskier. If you do take them together and feel your heart racing, feel faint, or have a sudden dizzy spell, seek medical help immediately.
