Yes I am concerned about the side effects of Medication too. I am trying to find a way to avoid it, or at least reduce the side effects. It looks like medication weaken the immunity system and pick up other infection. If the doctor can also work on how to protect our immunity and liver function, more patients are willing to take the medication. 😉

The multiple antibiotics can damage the liver, kidneys, vision& hearing.
This is all monitored closely.

The damage MAC can do is much much worse than any side effects of these medications. In contradiction, being on the big 3 antibiotics actually decrease the chances for other infections.
