A new leaflet on treatment of NTM is now available from NTM Patient Care UK!

Not everyone with Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) disease needs to take specific antibiotic treatment. However, if they do, this is often a combination of several drugs taken for months and sometimes years. This new leaflet now available has been written to provide information about the treatments for NTM. It also includes top tips to help with taking your medication and how to manage the possible side effects that can occur when on treatment.

The leaflet can be found on the NTM Patient Care website as a PDF here; www.ntmpatientcare.uk/coping-with-the-medicines

You will also find links at our webpage, to further information (as PDFs) about each of the commonly used drugs, including how to take them, possible interactions with other medication you might use, side effects and any necessary monitoring your clinical team will perform.

NOTE: We are currently developing this leaflet as a printed version to be made available via clinics as well.
