@ 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?

@hydrang3a The new Amakacin is the one I was on (I was in the trial for it). I was on the Amakacin and weekly meds for a year when my cavities closed, I was so thankful that I worked, after being on 3x weekly meds which diddnt do much at all for me. Not sure if it was the weekly meds or the Amikacin that did it(I feel it was the Amikacin as the 3x weekly meds diddnt do much), but the Inhaled Amikacin was so tolerable its worth a try.
