The results of the ROXIS study in unstable angina carriers treated with roxithromycin, and the work of Gupta et al with azithromycin in myocardial infarction survivors are encouraging, but inconclusive.studies have been launched that have built on some of the published work, evaluating the impact of prolonged azithromycin therapy on a large scale, including the WIZARD and ACES studies.
