Since the mean C max of azithromycin following a 500 mg IV dose given over 1 hour is higher than the mean C max of azithromycin following the administration of a 1,500 mg oral dose, it is possible that QTc may be prolonged to a greater extent with IV azithromycin at close proximity to a one hour infusion of 500 mg.
