There are other optional medicines also with less side effects but for that you will need to consult your physician.
Or you can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment. Which is safer and can help a lot in vision ans spine.

In my opinion you are on wrong advise. Forecox is same as rehz and adding only streptomycin to failing treatment is not good. Get culture and sensitivity for afb and add four new anti tb drugs under supervision of respiratory physician.

Pulmonologist altered regimen and added levofloxacin because you had liver side effects with pyrazinamide which was stopped
the standard regimen of rifampicin isoniazid ethambutol pyrazinamide is a guideline with exception when necessary
it is not an inviolable dictate
still in doubt consult pulmonologist at nationaltb institute bangalore malleswaram.

You have to take proper doses of tablets.
Akurit 4 you have to take 4 tabs at a time.
First are you sure you have testical tuberculosis.
How it was diagnosed is important.
Just nodule in testis are other clinico radiological diagnosis.
But take proper dose n duration else resistance is very high.

Each of these 4 drugs can cause
various imp side -effects.
so ,ideally these drugs. Are to be prescribed when& only when TB is diagnosed beyond doubt.

Hello lybrate-user, the regimen given to you seems to be proper. Nausea and vomiting is common with anti tb meds. U can take a better antacid than just pan d. Your response to the meds is decided by your chest xray. If improvements are there on that, then it means you r respomdimg to the treatment.

Hi⦠3 tablets of ripe fd kit should be taken together in fasting state as per your body weight ⦠otherwise you can switch to akurit 4 4 tablets all before breakfast⦠look for paradoxical phenomenon or drug resistanceâ¦if it is paradoxical phenomenon need to add oral steroids in tapering doses along with anti tuberculosis medications⦠better consult chest physician nearby. Get genexpert from lymph node aspirate. Get complete pus drainage.
