Thanks, yes it has a lot of bad side effects possible.
But looks to be very effective for the patient that can tolerate it.
I’m thinking about it.

I developed severe anemia. Needless to say it was discontinued.

Did your specific infection show sensitivity to it on the culture? If not, I would want to make sure it is the right drug for my own strain of MAC before I tried it.
Have you tried airway clearance with 7% saline to see if you could knock down the infection without antibiotics?
