has anybody taken azithromycin and amikacin

Posted by lili56 @lili56, Apr 6, 2023

I have MAC and bronchiectasis. started on azithromycin 500 mg yesterday and I am starting 3 days a week amikacin infusion tomorrow. Does anybody know what side effects to expect from these two meds and how toreduce at least some of them. My doctor said to let her know if I feel any ringing in my ears. I am still learning about my illness and future does frighten me.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Is that what they told you at njh. My id Dr is wondering why they are not recommending surgery since I am healthy in every other way. So we are going to try meds. Amikacin infusions for 2 to 3 months plus 4 oral antibiotics

Amikacin is very effective in cavity close. 2- 3 months will not do much harm to your body too. I am not sensitive to amikacin IV. I guess that is the reason why they recommend surgery.
