I had to take the meds for 21 mos. Some people have taken them for longer, some for less.
Sputum samples had to be sent to specialty lab to determine if they were free of MAC. Some doctors might have you continue for another month after you test clear. You need to be seeing an infectious disease doctor who is very knowledgeable about MAC.

Thank you for your expertise, very helpful! I am waiting to hear the answers to my questions from my pulmonologist. Would like to get those first; before switching over. That is my plan!
