I just got reinfected with MAC. The first time I got it I was on 3 antibiotics 3x a week. I moved to a new city. With this reinfection my new doc who specializes in MAC put me on the same 2 you are on and I am taking it everyday. They are doing more and more research on best treatment protocols. I am also surprised and unhappy about taking antibiotics everyday. I wonder if there will be a plan to reduce # of days in the future?

I did find this article … “Two-drug versus three-drug regimens for treating Mycobacterium aviumcomplex infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis”.

@cfalci So sorry to hear you got reinfected. That is one of my big questions, is it really worth it if the MAC is likely to come back? I guess that depends on how well one tolerates the drugs. I wish you well.
