Warning: Antibiotic Azithromycin May Cause Fatal Heart Rhythms

Azithromycin (Zithromax or Zmax): Risk of Potentially Fatal Heart Rhythms

AUDIENCE: Family Practice, Patient, Pharmacy, Health Professional

Click on this video to view other brand names of this drug.

ISSUE: FDA is warning the public that azithromycin (Zithromax or Zmax) can cause abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart that may lead to a potentially fatal irregular heart rhythm. Patients at particular risk for developing this condition include those with known risk factors such as existing QT interval prolongation, low blood levels of potassium or magnesium, a slower than normal heart rate, or use of certain drugs used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias.  FDA has issued a Drug Safety Communication today as a result of our review of a study by medical researchers as well as another study by a manufacturer of the drug that assessed the potential for azithromycin to cause abnormal changes in the electrical activity of the heart.

FDA previously released a Statement on May 17, 2012, about a study that compared the risks of cardiovascular death in patients treated with the antibacterial drugs azithromycin, amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin (Cipro), and levofloxacin (Levaquin), or no antibacterial drug. The study reported an increase in cardiovascular deaths, and in the risk of death from any cause, in persons treated with a 5-day course of azithromycin (Zithromax) compared to persons treated with amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, or no drug. The risks of cardiovascular death associated with levofloxacin treatment were similar to those associated with azithromycin treatment.

BACKGROUND: Azithromycin is marketed under the brand names Zithromax and Zmax. Change to “FDA-approved indications for azithromycin include: acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute bacterial sinusitis, community-acquired pneumonia, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, urethritis and cervicitis, genital ulcer disease

RECOMMENDATION: Health care professionals should consider the risk of torsades de pointes and fatal heart rhythms with azithromycin when considering treatment options for patients who are already at risk for cardiovascular events.  FDA notes that the potential risk of QT prolongation with azithromycin should be placed in appropriate context when choosing an antibacterial drug: Alternative drugs in the macrolide class, or non-macrolides such as the fluoroquinolones, also have the potential for QT prolongation or other significant side effects that should be considered when choosing an antibacterial drug.

Night Bullet, Male Sexual Performance Supplement Recalled

Green Planet, Inc. Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall 

of One Lot of "Night Bullet" 

Marketed as a Supplement to Support Male Sexual Performance

Contains Undeclared, Potentially Hazardous Active Ingredient

March 11, 2013 - Green Planet, Inc. is conducting a voluntary consumer recall of a product sold as a dietary supplement under the brand name of "Night Bullet," found to contain trace amounts of an analogue of an FDA-approved drug.

Finished product of Night Bullet was tested and found to contain trace amounts of an analogue of an FDA-approved drug. Analytical tests conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Night Bullet found that the product contains trace amounts of Sulfohydroxyhomosildenafil and Aminotadalafil. Sulfohydroxyhomosildenafil and Aminotadalafil are an analogues of sildenafil. Sildenafil is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in an FDA-approved drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) making this product an unapproved drug.

These undeclared active ingredients pose a threat to consumers because sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions and they may seek products to enhance sexual performance. Additionally sildenafil may cause side effects such as, headaches and flushing. Green Planet has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.

Night Bullet is marketed as a supplement for male enhancement. The recalled products are in capsule form, packaged in one (1) count blister packs. The lot and expiration date can be found on the back of the package. The following lot is being recalled:

Product:  Night Bullet

Batch Lot #:  B43N032

UPC Code:  018505122233

Expiration Date:  10/20/15

Night Bullet was sold nationwide between October 2012 and March 2013 to wholesalers and sample provided at trade shows.

Green Planet is notifying its wholesalers through written correspondence. We urge consumers who have purchased these products to immediately discontinue their use and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking this product. The Company is advising consumers to return the product to their place of purchase. Consumers may also return products directly to Freedom Trading. Customers can call the Company at 877-621-2048 Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm PST for instructions on the return and refund process.

• Online: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm

"In the event an error occurs, we have the data to quickly alert pet owners, giving them the confidence they demand of a pet food manufacturer."

Cats fed product with the previously listed Production Codes and Best By dates exclusively for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency.

Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which may include ventriflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, falling, circling and seizures. Pet owners should contact their veterinarians immediately if a cat is displaying any of these signs. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency typically is reversible.

Dog and Cat Foods Might Pose Danger to Your Health

How to Protect Your Family From Food-borne Illness in Your Pet's Foods

Recently, I've noticed that more and more recalls have been issued for pet foods due to contamination with dangerous bacteria such as salmonella and e. coli.  Not only do these foods pose a danger to your beloved pets, but they also are a hazard to you and your family!  While salmonella in pet foods and treats can cause serious infections in your dog or cat, they can cause very real problems in people too--especially children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. 

Salmonella in pet foods and treats potentially can be transferred to people ingesting or handling the contaminated products.Toddlers are notorious for messing around with pets' dishes and (as unsavory as it sounds) they sometimes will even eat the dog or cat's food.  But even if you keep pet food well away from your little ones, you might still be at risk of contracting a serious infection due hidden bacteria in your animals' foods.  Luckily, there are steps you can take  to help prevent these food-borne illnesses that arise from pet food contamination..  Following the guidelines listed below will go a long way toward protecting your family and your fur-babies as well.

When Buying Pet Food

• Purchase products that appear to be in good condition, without signs of damage to the packaging such as dents or tears.

When Preparing Pet Food

• Thoroughly wash your hands for 30 seconds with hot soapy water after handling pet foods and treats.
• Wash pet food bowls, dishes, and scooping utensils with soap and hot water after each use.
• Do not use your hands or the pet's feeding bowl as a scooping utensil—use a clean, dedicated scoop or spoon.
• Dispose of old or spoiled pet food products in a safe manner, such as in a securely tied plastic bag in a covered trash receptacle.

Safely Storing Pet Food

• Securely cover and refrigerate promptly or discard any unused, leftover wet pet food.
• Refrigerators should be set at or below 40º F.
• Dry products should be stored in a cool, dry place—under 80º F.
• If possible, store dry pet food in its original bag inside a clean, dedicated plastic container with a lid, keeping the top of the bag folded closed.
• Keep pets away from food storage and preparation areas.
• Keep pets away from garbage and household trash.

Stay Alert

• Finally, stay alert to breaking news on product recalls by subscribing to Totally Recalled!  where you will always find  timely updates to help you avoid exposure to any known problems as they occur--such as this pet treat recall issued today!
