MAC is no friend of yours.

Now, help prevent MAC disease-the most common bacterial infection among people with AIDS

Today, about half of all people with AIDS will develop MAC* (also known as MAI) within the first 22 years of their diagnosis. And for those of you with AIDS, MAC is no friend of yours. As an opportunistic infection, MAC has many dangerous effects. Fever. Night sweats. Weight loss. Fatigue. Diarrhea. Liver problems. And sometimes...death. But now, Pharmacia and SmithKline Beecham give people with AIDS a fighting chance against MAC disease.

*Mycobacterium avium complex.

'Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare.

'There is a potential for brown-orange discoloration of body fluids and contact lenses. 1994 Pharmacia

MYCOBUTIN® (rifabutin capsules)*—the first and only drug to prevent MAC-reduces the incidence of MAC. And MYCOBUTIN increases your chances of feeling better longer.

So if you are HIV positive or have AIDS, see your doctor about MAC and MYCOBUTIN.

If you have active tuberculosis, you are not a candidate for MYCOBUTIN.
