Default Zirthomycin

Does anyone have any information on this antibiotic and the uncommon side effects it can have?

Could you mean Azithromycin? The brand name for this drug is Zithromax.

If so, you will find information at Drugs.com

More specifically I am interested in the "Z Pack" side effects. Our family has experienced a death of someone who was taking a Z-pack. He was a young, healthy 31 year old male except for asthma that was under control and not very bad. He had gone into the hospital for a breathing treatment on a Sat. evening (only the 2nd time it was needed in 10 yrs.) was given a Z-pack for a slight sinus infection and released with a rapid (though not too bad considering stress) heart rate. This person took the first dose of the Zpack and a few hours later died suddenly. We have been advised that erythromycin and its relative drugs like a Z-pack, azithromycin, can cause heart arrythmias. Is there anyone out there that can lead me to a web site on this subject? Please answer.
