Yes - forever. I graduated to several other lung invaders after MAC . So I should probably clarify by saying that Levoquin is not for MAC specifically but to protect me or rather keep my bronchiectasis from worsening by keeping other potential invaders at bay . And I have to nebulize as well. Unfortunately a person can be cured of MAC only to have other pathogens take its place. ( sounds like an “AIR” B&B for lung invaders.) Anything we can do to keep them at bay makes sense. Does that make sense? Irene5
