Clinical Management of Respiratory Adverse Events Associated With Amikacin Liposome Inhalation Suspension: Results From a Patient Survey

Abstract

Patients with <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> complex lung disease treated with amikacin liposome inhalation suspension (ALIS) at 2 clinics in the United States were surveyed to assess the frequency and management of ALIS-associated respiratory adverse events. Most respondents experienced these events, but management through physician-guided measures (eg, bronchodilator use, oral rinses, and/or temporary dosing adjustments) resulted in symptomatic improvement.
