Hi: I have done 5 treatments with the Arikayce. I have completely lost my voice and can not speak above a whisper. My dr wants me to do the treatments in the morning. Did you discontinue the Arikayce for a period of time or did you keep taking it even during the time of your voice problems. I have not had any other major effects, some coughing and tinge of blood but nothing I can't deal with. I am not doing any other treatments except Breo inhalation. Thanks for any insight.

Hi @sandykayhud , I had the same problem, I had a break for about 3 days, until I had a voice, and re started.I arkariced at night before bed and diddnt talk after, I rinsed my mouth out with water after the treatment and sucked on half a Strepfen, it worked wonders. Having no voice was very frustrating, I hope yours comes back soon.
