I have both MAC/Bronchiactisis and take the Big 3 along with Amikacin and have never experienced hair loss. In fact my Cosmetologist says my hair has gotten thicker over the last 10 months which was shocking.

Hi, I have just been diagnosed with Mac/Bronchiastisis and my Dr. wants me to start the Big 3, Azithromcyin, Rifampin and Ethambutol. I'm to take them all at once, Mon, Wed and Friday. I had asked to be able to start one at a time, maybe a week or two apart to see if I experience any side effects and they told me no. No mention of Amikacin. How are you taking the meds? Thank you.
