Hi, my dr put me on the big three and my body couldn't take them. I was sick as a dog! He is now suggesting Arikares. What I have read scares me! Has anyone had any experience with taking it? Thanks!

I have been on Arikayce for 2 months, barely tolerating it. Cough is sometimes out of control. Never had this issue before. Also on nebulizer with saline and albuterol. Wondering if anyone else has had problems tolerating Arikayce.

My mother who has MAC was placed on Aricayse and could not tolerate it. Now her infectious disease doctor placed her on Amikacin 1/2 the dose , diluted and only 3x week. Done via nebulizer. He consulted with Jewish National Health in Denver about this. So far, so good! There are options. She also still takes Arthromycin and Ethambutol.
