Check with your pharmacist or doctor to ensure that you are not taking another medication that can cause QT prolongation. People with QT prolongation or a history of heart Arrhythmias should discuss with their doctor how Rovamycine may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Rovamycine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Grapefruit juice: Grapefruit juice may interact with spiramycin if it is consumed while being treated with spiramycin and may cause an increase in serious side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking spiramycin.

Liver function: People with reduced liver function or liver disease should discuss with their doctor how Rovamycine may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Rovamycine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Overgrowth of organisms: During prolonged or repeated treatment with spiramycin, other bacteria or fungi may be allowed to overgrow. If your condition worsens or does not improve in appropriate amount of time, contact your doctor.
