@pking, Hi there. Many patients on rifampin have found that taking it on an empty stomach helped a great deal. Can take either first thing in the morning, then wait an hour to eat food, or take at night before bed. You may have to play with the schedule a bit before figuring out what suites you. @heathert Heather says eating a cracker with the meds helps her.
@pking ..I used acupuncture and ginger.My MAC was successfully treated with the big three and I've made good progress since. Others have changed the timing of the drugs. Three times aw week is easier than every day and works as well. Good luck finding what works for you.
