Just wondering if this is a good combo for bart..

I tried reading Dr B's guidelines but apparantly nothing is staying in my brain today..

Does he say this is good for Bart? or what WOULD be a good combo?

Yes... Rifampin with any Marcolide (Zith or Biaxin.)

#1 drug for Bart is Levaquin, which I didn't personally like. #2 is Rifampin with Biaxin or Zith. I did that for 3 weeks and WOW..herxed at first but then felt better. Sadly had to stop due to high liver counts. Will restart with Rifabutin next week.
