Starting Arikayce - nervous

Hi, Kathy! Well, in my portal it's a lot less (these are the yearly amounts based on the different pharmacies I have in in there):
Arikayce 590mg/8.4ml suspension
$1,649.95
$1,885.00
$1,894.80
$1,636.66
$1,737.80

BUT, wait and see how it all shakes out. Again, it's possible even if it's not covered you can get an exception. My situation was I had been on the Azithromycin, Ethambutol and Rifampin for like 14 months (converted, flipped back positive and languished). We dropped the Rifampin and added the Arikayce. I had asked my ID if we could because of them both potentially affecting hearing, and she agreed.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Thanks Laurel, oh that's scary. Well I'll just see what happens.
My strain is completely resistant to Azithromycin. So, I will have to start with Arikayce. Thanks again. Kathy
