Biaxin for Bartonella

Is Biaxin the best prescription for Bartonella?

The generic name for Biaxin is Clarithromycin: https://www.drugs.com/biaxin.html#:~:text=Biaxin%20XL%20Generic%20name%3A%20clarithromycin%20%28kla%20RITH,roe%20MYE%20sin%29%20Brand%20name%3A%20Biaxin%20XL

Clarithromycin appears in several lists of treatments for Bartonella, but not usually at the top:

One of my previous links brings up the term 'herxing', which is a reference to the Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction.

This has a picture of a hives-like reaction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarisch%E2%80%93Herxheimer_reaction

This has some info but seems to mostly be trying to sell an idiotic looking product: https://naturallyunbridled.com/articles/herxing-what-is-it-and-what-can-you-do-about-it/

This has a lot of useful details and timelines. The peak is 4 weeks in? https://www.lymedisease.org/lymesci-herxing/
