Thank you. You provided great information. Seeing the cardiologist (electrophysiologist) next week and will discuss with him. Have you treated MAC? If so, how? Considering doing Arikayce only three days week for treatment. Any thoughts?

I was on azithromycin and ethambutol for 14 months and Arikayce for 4 months and have been MAC free for almost two years. I'd have took but I believe everything was 3x per week. I have some very serious digestive problems (extensive radiation and butcher surgeon messed me up) so my doctor wanted me in the lowest doses that would still get the job done.

I'm very interested in what your ep says and hope you will share.
