Hi. I have bronchiectasis and MAC. I am on my second round event antibiotics. The first 13 months I took the three antibiotics only three days a week. After two months of being off the medication’s. The Mac came back. I am now on the medication‘s seven days a week, and the dosage is even higher. I don’t know if I should be taking azithromycin and ethembuterol together right after food and I am taking rifampin on an empty stomach a hour before I eat at noon . I’ve been given different schedules, but I want to know the very best and if I am doing the right thing.
