Hi Sharon, I think you’re new to Connect. There is a wonderful group and I think you’ll find helpful info here.
I have bronchiectasis and was thought to have MAC based on CT’s, but cultures were negative. Therefore, I have no experience with the meds used. I’m replying to bump the thread because many here have been treated and the post you replied to is old. Few questions for you:
which organism grew out of your cultures? Do you have cavities on Ct?
Would you share a bit more about the problems you’re experiencing and how long you’ve been on them?. Some people seem to tolerate them well and others cut back.
I’ll search for some threads that might help you.

I think and hope this recent thread might have information you’re looking for. There are tips on managing the meds, from timing to probiotics. Feel free to start a new thread or ask questions of those who posted.
