Increasing meds

Posted by franthony @franthony, May 2, 2019

Yesterday my ID doc's office called and said that now, 11 months into treatment with the big three, I still have “some MAC”, and to start taking them every single day. Has this particular course of action happened to anyone else?

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

@franthony My treatment was the opposite- started with seven days a week and then went to three days/week. So yes, it does happen. (irene5)

Thank you for letting me know. I was really looking forward to hopefully being done and starting to treat the aspergillus. Sigh.
