@erawl...I was prescribed Ethambutal and Rifamprin with clarithromycin MWF 2x a day for 14 months.The scheduling may be a result of the ID's preference.
I hope others will chime in on their scheduling, so you can see how variable it can be. If it comes to a choice, continuing the meds in a way you can tolerate is preferable to stopping them. Your doctor may agree to flexibility in timing when you explain the side effects to him or her.

Thanks for sharing. I will ask my doc if it's okay if I do the same. Do I understand correctly that you take you probiotics even later at night?

Do you use the same probiotic for a.m. and p.m.?
Also, what brand(s) of probiotic do you use?
Thanks
