BMJ - Clarithromycin and roxithromycin and risk of cardiac death

"Use of clarithromycin and roxithromycin and risk of cardiac death: cohort study"

"Conclusions This large cohort study found a significantly increased risk of cardiac death associated with clarithromycin. No increased risk was seen with roxithromycin. Given the widespread use of clarithromycin, these findings call for confirmation in independent populations."
