Hi Melissa, is Bruce improving with the inhaled Amkacin (no liposome suspension)? I just started inhaled Amikacin (0.2g in 2ml 0.9% saline solution) 1-2 times per day. I wonder if it will generate any benefit. Hope it is effective for Bruce! Take care!

Hi caontm,
Thanks for your note and good thoughts. Ultimately Bruce didn’t make the switch to the inhaled Amikacin. After reviewing the process of using inhaled Amikacin with his ID/Pulmonologist, including adding its twice a day regimen to all of his daily antibiotics and saline nebulizers, they decided to stick with Arikayce.
I am glad to hear it is working so well for you. This discussion board certainly indicates a wide ranging number and types of therapies used to battle MAC and Bronchiectasis. The participants and the information and support they provide are a wonderful resource. Thanks and be well.
Melissa
