MAC Treatment: Rifampin vs Clofazimine

In a recent scholarly article, the author, a pulmonologist from South Korea, argues that clofazimine might be a better choice than rifampin for treating MAC. He also mentions recent studies that showed that a two drug regimen of a macrolide plus ethambutol was as effective as the Big 3 regimen of a macrolide plus ethambutol and rifampin.

In the United States clofazimine is considered an investigational drug, so obtaining a prescription can take a bit of work. Another option might be to join a Phase 3 clinical trial of inhaled clofazimine, which is currently recruiting at multiple locations. Whatever your treatment plan consists of, I wish you the best of luck and smooth sailing.
