Windwalker auntnanny. My doc talked to me today about an inhaled drug/ antibiotic called Arikayce. Have you heard of it? It is a liposomal form of the antibiotic Amikan. It targets MAC specifically and is a liposomal inhalation suspension. Side effects seem daunting however.

I have been on Arikayce since Jan 14. It has dramatically reduced my MAC, evidenced on chest CT. I had a lobectomy 4 weeks ago to get rid of the majority of the disease and damage from it. I have only had loss of voice as a side effect.
