MAC infection treatment

Posted by sharondig @sharondig, Oct 9 4:24pm

hello everyone, I just joined this site to gather info and share my journey with others. I have just started treatment MAC. I will be taking the big three as some of you call it and will be documenting my progress. My question is, can anyone share their experience with these medications and the actual treatment? It’s a very long process and am hoping to have minimal side effects.
Thanks so much for all of your help!

Ethambutol, Rifampicin (Rifidin) and Azithromycin.
No idea what else they can be used for but it would not surprise me if it was a multitude of things.
