What are the usual doses prescribed for azithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampin in milligrams (mg) and number of pills for each? Thank you

Dosage is different for everyone and is mostly dependent upon weight.

I suppose the usual starter dose is 1 azithromycin (500 mg), 1 ethambutol (400 mg), and 2 rifampin (rifabutin 150 mg each) 3x/week. That said, given my reactions or lack of reactions over the last six months, my doctor has had to adjust the dosages a couple of times. I'm currently taking 1-3-2, but I anticipate yet another modification soon.
