I do daily along with Arikayce since Match. I have had 3 neg cultures since starting. I take all meds before bed and that seems to be working. A little rough the first month. I do eat to keep my weight up. I have bronchiectasis, MAC with cavitation.
Rifampin 600 mg
Azithromycin 500 mg
Ethambutol 900 mg

I also neb albuterol, 3% saline , use a vest 2x daily. I use an Anoro inhaler once a day.

Do you eat something before taking your meds?
I plan to take after dinner....I tried taking in morning last time and it didn't work.
I will be on 1000mg of Ethambutol, 250 Aritho, and 600 rifampin. The 1000mg scares me...But going to try.
Do you think the vest works for you? I have used it for a year and I feel that nebulizing with 7% chloride and albuterol works better for me.
Thank you.
