Oh thank you! Hearing from those of you that have had a more manageable time of it is hopeful! I will talk to them about the inhaler version vs IV. Thank you!

Certainly! The kit for inhaled amikacin consists of amikacin vials, syringes to pull out the medication from the vials, .9 percent saline in plastic tubes, and alcohol wipes to wipe down the top of the vial before inserting the needle. Instructions can be found on the NJH website. Any jet nebulizer should work. Albuterol is sometimes used as a pre-treatment medication.
