I am so sorry for you have to stop the treatment.Do you mean you couldn’t finish a daily dose due to the terrible side effects such as severe cough? Is ok to rest a while then finish the treatment? Hope your pulmonologist finds other solutions to help you.Wish you get better!

That was 3 years ago, my the time I got to NJH, I no longer tested positive for Mac but instead developed a fungal infection. I was very disappointed in Insmed and the terrible support over 5 months, especially at $6000 per month. They were great until treatment started then it was strictly hands off. At the time, my insurance denied any coverage at NJH. I'm sure I'd have done better with a reduced dosage or schedule.
