The 'Big 3' are the standard treatment (azithromycin, ethambutol, rifampin). However, your treatment should be a function of susceptibility tests done on the bacteria. If the bacteria aren't susceptible, they will have to look for other options.
Don't be overly anxious, I and others I know from message boards have been on the meds with little to no side effects.

Thank you
Are all protocols different. Do you take iv antibiotics or orally. Are they taken all at once or alternate?

Is that treatment for bronchiostasis? If it is I hope it breaks up or helps break up mucus.
