Macrolides are drugs recognizable by their common ending of “-thromycin”, including erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin. Macrolides are antibiotics and can be used clinically to treat a wide spectrum of bacterial infections. Macrolides have the potential to cause QT prolongation, which could lead to the potentially fatal torsades de pointes, so keep an eye on the patient’s cardiac rhythm. Another side effect of taking macrolides is GI distress. Macrolides are hepatotoxic, meaning they can cause liver damage. Closely monitor the patient’s liver enzymes while they are taking the drug.
