I was diagnosed with mac and bronchiactisis 3 years but also have afib and take 4 drugs for that condition. The pharmacist notified me that claryromcin would interact with flecanide and couldn't be taken at the same time. Anyone have any suggestions?

@sounder27 Hello. Is an ablation procedure a possible solution to your afib? I used to have a lot of symptoms similar to afib; it is called superventricular tachacardia. I have had it for 40 years. That is the thing that used to land me in the hospital. My HPM would go to 180 for many hours on end until medically stopped. I was consequently put on Diltiazem 240 mg and that did the trick. That, and oxygen at night. If this med didn't work, then an ablation procedure was going to be next. It is not easy figuring all of these health issues out. I am glad that you are here with us. You definitely are not alone with this journey.

Please check with your cardiologist for other medications that might work with the treatment. I, too, have afib and take sotalol. Haven’t started the MAC routine, but my infectious disease specialist did not indicate it would be an issue.
