Thank you. Do you know what other drugs they prescribe?

Hi Nancy, It's that old answer "It depends" - A sensitivity test is run on the culture to see which drug(s) have the best effect on the bacteria. Also, there is often a repeat sputum culture to confirm you have M. abscessus, and how many colonies, before treatment begins. NJH is the best place you can goto treat it.
