Arikayce in combination with antibiotics for MAC treatment

I just started Arikayce in addition to the daily Big 3, after being on just the Big 3 Mon/Wed/Fri for 10 months. So far, no side effects, but it's still early days. In terms of cost, they have the Arikares financial aid program that provides a 'coupon' for the meds. The coupon, plus my insurance, has resulted in zero out-of-pocket cost for me.

@extracare808 ,
I'm about to start Arikayce in July, 2023 and was wondering how you did or are doing on this drug. Did you share that you were nebbing Arikayce daily and taking the Big 3 daily or 3 times p/w since August, 2022?
I was diagnosed with MAC in June, 2022 and started the Big Three 3 x p/w in September of 2022. As of May 2023, MAC is still lurking in my lungs. My Pulmn Doc suggested I consider inhaling Arikayce along with the Big 3 (which I tolerated very well) and expect to start in July, 2023.
Please let us know how you made out? Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
