Hi Barbara,
The study of two versus three antibiotics is just winding down and results are not yet available. However, that said, I think many doctors have decided on their own to do away with rifampin. And I see that some are being creative with a third antibiotic, whether oral or inhaled.

I hope this is helpful and all the best to you,
Linda

Thanks Linda.
Glad you and others are here to help with thoughts and information. What is sad is that others (friends and relatives who don't go to the site but you tell them about it) feel that we shouldn't be on the site....to stay away from it.....including one of my doctors. I guess they don't understand how it all works and think it's one of those areas that might fall under "fake news/information" and it sure isn't....it's a valuable tool and one might even say a Godsend.
I am so much more comfortable knowing you are all here to help us, help one another, in our understandings and life journey with BE/MAC etc.
Yes, all you have posted has been helpful, valuable and needed.
Barbara
