@larrycmb I did the Big3 on again off again Finnegan for many years. I still had MAC and little luck with those drugs due to side effects. Thats me!! Lots of people have no problem. When I was in a clinical trial for Arikayce for I want to say at least 18 months I did not have bad side effects from it. It was time consuming for sure. But Arikayce cured the MAC. I also understand Sue’s point of view. Each of us is different. I had “known” MAC for at least 7 years and probably longer. Arikayce got rid of it !! Good luck to your wife. Irene5

Arikayce is what changed the game in my improvement and what has kept me stable. The damage the MAC can do is worse than any side effect. The Arikayce takes some getting used to but its very much worth the try and transition.

Larry, did susceptibility testing show the meds had become resistant?

Just wanted to share my experience with Arikayce. First of all, their human clinical trials had a limited patient population. I was disappointed to discover that. Yes, it has serious side effects.
My trainer from the mfgr did not explain this to me. In reality i was being over treated with daily dosing of the arikayce. I should of been three times a week. I was only able to tolerate eight doses before i became ill with adverse effects. My pharngx started having spasms and i lost my total voice for 2 months and lost my job. Coughing afterwards, headaches, nausea and eye issues. Never again!
