I wanted to make 2 comments. I am older (70-s at the time) highly med sensitive. Was on the Arikayce, Rifampin and Azithro --after 14 months cultures continued positive but reduced. Added Clofazamine and converted to negative immediately. I was concerned about side effects. I had a mild rash for 5 days -- that was it!!! Yes a slight tan for the 15 months that I took it. Just my experience...it was a very easy drug on my system

@barbarita I agree about the clofazamine. I have very little if any reaction to it except for the light tan. I didn’t know it was supposed to reduce cavity size.
