@derbeltal Eye issues are scary from ethambutol. I wasn’t allowed to drive when I was prescribed it in Tennessee. And I have the color blindness app on my phone. Sometimes dose can affect that side effect. Azithromycin can be swapped for clarithromycin. Dosages and frequency can be a game changer. And Rifampin is not necessarily necessary. Good luck to you. No bueno as one of my children always says - so sorry you are dealing with all this. irene5

derbeltal, sometimes the ethambutol is substituted with amikaycin. I think that is better because you can get the inhaled version that targets the lungs precisely. May want to ask your dr about that.
