The Linezolid and Omadacycline were pills in addition to the IV meds for Abscessus
I have had 4 consecutive negative sputum cultures from the MAC I’m still taking Azithromycin Ethambutol, Clofazimine. Just stopped the Arikayce because Dr is trying to figure what is causing the hemoptysis

If hemoptysis is bleeding then it was the same for me on the azithromicin/clofazimine/Amakacin combo

Good news that you had 4 consecutive negative sputum cultures, that’s encouraging.
Take care!
