Daily Big 3 - Azithromycin Dosage

Posted by bayarea58 @bayarea58, 1 day ago

For those on DAILY Big 3, what is your daily Azithromycin dosage? My local Dr. is recommending 250 mg a day, but I have read 500 mg a day is more common for daily regimens. I will be running the question by NJH on my upcoming visit, but am curious what other NTM patients are taking in terms of their daily Azithromycin dosages. Thanks.

When I began taking the Big 3 in December 2024, I was taking 500 mg of Azithromycin daily. Since I recently tested negative for MAC, my ID physician reduced my dosage of Azithromycin to 250 mg.
