When people have multiple exacerbations in a year and hospitalizations, too, many pulmonologists consider prescribing one of two meds: roflumilast (Daliresp) or azithromycin three times a week; sometimes every day. Both meds have been clinically proven to reduce exacerbations and hospitalizations. Both are used for their anti-inflammatory properties, so the fact that azithromycin is an antibiotic isn't why it's used. So yes, being prescribed azithromycin either three times a week or every day is a perfectly acceptable treatment and much needed for some people.

My husband hasn’t had an exacerbation since he starting taking Daliresp. It works!

I wish Daliresp worked that way w/ me! I've been on it for over a year and I'm hving a flare up now! 😥

Yes steroids and antibiotics, here too. But don’t let them keep you on them long term.

Hi whenever I have or have had a flare up I’ve always been put on a Antibiotic and a steroid.
