I was on these 3 antibiotics for 12 months for MAC. I think M&Ms would have been just as effective as Azithromycin. I saw no benefit from the 12 months of being on these drugs.

That’s hard to hear since I am about to start on them.

I started ethambutol+azithromycin 5 weeks ago. I wanted a chest xray after 3 months to see if thee drugs improved my congestion/MAC.
My pulmonologist said it takes a very long time to see any improvement in the lungs.
I also do vest, nebulizer tx, aerobika.
When I met with ID, he wanted me to add Arikayce 3x a week.
My pulmonologist wants me on the drugs for now. Its tough.
Stay strong everyone!
