Not sure you need to avoid much but if on warfarin get INR test in a couple of days.Their pharmacy should know any contra indications my friend. Glad you went!

Sorry to hear that you’re unwell. I’ve been on antibiotics a couple of times since having AF, one time because of a bronchial infection. I can’t remember which antibiotics they were but there was no issue with them. I hope you’re feeling better soon x

Well it's a good job I've kept the box from one that was fine:

Oxytetracycline 250mg 4 times daily

Hope this isn't too late

Quite a late answer but amoxicillin is ok I think

Avoid fluoroquinolones as they can provoke serious arrythmias as well as a host of other nasties.
