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.

Thank you for replying. I couldn't tolerate the Ethambutol. The only one of the "big three" I can handle is the Arthromycin. I live in southern California and after finding this site I'm beginning to think the doctors here are not very familiar with MAC.
