Arikayce Liposomal should be used under medical supervision. It is important to follow the prescribed inhalation technique to ensure proper delivery to the lungs. Users should be aware of potential allergic reactions and discontinue use if severe side effects occur.

Arikayce Liposomal may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect kidney function. It is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol and certain other substances may also affect the efficacy of this medication.
