Bronchiectasis and azithromycin 3 times a week.

@cwal Unfortunately, I have a Medicare advantage health plan and it does not cover Brinsupri. I was misled by my insurance broker and now it's too later to change to the original Medicare plus a gap-at least according to my new health insurance broker. I also cannot get Nuzyra (can't afford the $30,000/month), despite the fact that it shows to be highly effective on MABC.
I will post it when I learn more. I did recently read that Erythromycin is the recommended macrolide for BE inflammation, and it does not cause resistance to MAC, not sure about MABC.

I also have a Medicare Advantage plan and between the insurance and The Assistance Fund I pay nothing -so far. Who knows what will happen in the future due to the craziness going on with health care plans. Have you heard about The Assistance Fund? Many have been able to get the medication this way.
