Hi @amn17 Are you on daily meds? I was on 3x week meds for 2 years without cavity closure, but when I changed to daily meds and Inhaled Amakacin they closed. All the best.

@heathert Yes I am on daily meds. Recently added clofazimine and Amikacin inhaled too.

@ heather.....Encouraged to hear from someone whose cavity closed. How long did it take? I’m on daily meds and inhaled amikacin and I am so encouraged by your response. Thank you! Now they have an improved version of inhaled amikacin made available earlier this month. Has anyone started using it?

Can I ask what your dose is for the Amakacin. My mother tolerates it well but only takes it 3 times a week.
