what is vfend? Yes, the Cresemba cost me $1200 for the first 12 days but that includes my co-pay. I will reach the catastrophic level in a couple of months and then it won't cost anything ($8,000 is catastrophic level). Incredible how expensive these medications are.
Is the Amikacin IV to treat a cavity?

Vfend is voriconazole for fungal/aspergillis. My Medicare Part D copay for Cresemba is would be $1000 ($6000 x 20%). I guess mine would cap at $8000 per year.
Yes, Amikacin iv can added to the big3 at the start if cavitation is present or layer if culture is still positive. The expesnive inhaled Arikayce is substituted, but not covered under my part d plan at all.
