just been recently diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease, had a couple of stents fitted in March of this year.
I work for a pharmaceutical company and have recently returned to work on light duties, but my main job involves working in a cleanroom filling antibiotic solutions into vials is this OK ? or should i not be working with antibiotics if i am on heart medication ?
Hello John
You should know this already, but if you work with antibiotics in a clean room environment with PPE, your exposure to the antibiotic should be as good as zero (if its not then you are running a health risk, heart condition or not! You should be fine to continue working in that environment. If in any doubt raise this through your Health and Safety and occupational Health departments (assuming that you have them).
I would think it extremely unlikely as you will still be given antibiotics if you developed a serious infection. You can always check with your GP or cardiologist for peace of mind.
The antibiotic clarithromycin has been linked to increased risk of cardiac events but I believe is rarely used.
