Hello,
akt once started needs to be continued for 6 to 9 months.
You could do a liver function test blood test just so as to see if akt has caused any hepatic disfunction which is a known side effect of akt
and make sure she takes the tablets in 10 min interval.
U can try to take the tabelts 2 hour after food if she has been taking it empty stomach.
Hope this helps.

ATT is usually taken for 6 months. After 2 months, pyrazinamide is stopped and other medications should be continued.
In your case case, i suggest you to repeat a CXR to look for the response and amount of remaining fluid. Also continue rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol for atleast 3 more months. You can stop pyrazimamide.
