I was offered clofazimine by my ID doc. Has anyone here taken it and become culture negative after taking it? Also how bad is the skin discoloration after being on it for several months?
Thanks!

Hi @marlin and @heathert, I moved your question about clofazimine to this discussion:
- Clofazimine for MAC: Anyone have experience with this drug? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/clofazimine/

I did this so you can connect with @bnthorson @dulwich @jenblalock @almap @sueinmn @nac1 who also have experience with this drug and may be able to share their experiences with having a negative culture after taking it and if they had skin discoloration after being on it for several months.

Marlin, have you started taking clofazimine? Are you taking other antibiotics too?
