This QT prolongation can cause a serious fast/irregular heartbeat. Hence it is advised to inform your doctor if you have any heart-related problems like heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in EKG or ECG (electrocardiogram) and a family history of heart diseases.
It is advised to have regular eye checkups while using Q 100mg Suspension. Consult your doctor if you face any change in vision.
