What does AMAT mean in THERAPY

Anti MAP Antibiotic Therapy (AMAT) is a medical treatment used in the management of Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) infection. It involves the use of a combination of antibiotics to treat and control symptoms caused by the bacteria.

Common side effects associated with taking AMAT include nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches and dizziness.
