Asked for female, 24 years old from Mumbai

I'm a tb patient and I was initially asked to take the regular att medication. Soon, it led to extreme nausea and vomiting and caused a spike in my sgpt and sgot. I couldn't continue with the same medication and hence the medication was changed to solonex 300, moxifloxacin 400 and ethambutol 1000. Can I avoid rifampicin and pyrazinamide which were present in the previous medication as they were causing an adverse effect on me? And can I continue with the new medication as my permanent medication?

There is a way to treat drug- induced hepatitis. We should stop all att, then introduce the first- line drugs in small doses, one by one, repeating sgot/sgpt ay regular intervals. There is no need to add a second-line drug like moxifloxacin.

Asked for male, 32 years old from Hyderabad

My father, aged 68, was recently in complete bed rest for the last 3 months and was taking akt 4 ofr first 2 months and then 1 month of akt3 after being diagnosed with Pott's spine. Spine surgeon told us that he is clinically doing really well and his CRP has improved from 67 to 11.2 Recently he is started to have blurred vision so we checked with Eye specialists and they suggested it to be EMB induced optical neuropathy. Its been some 4 weeks now that we have stopped Ethambutol and he has partially regained vision though there is acuity problems still. Now that he is on Rifampicin and Isoniazid, does he need to take some other medicine in place of ethambutol for his TB treatment? Hope stopping Ethambutol will not effect his spinal TB.

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.

There is no reason for you to continue Pyrazinamide so long. And why is there no isoniazid in the prescribed drugs. The regimen you using for to cure tb is not correct. It should contain rifampicin, isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2-3 months and later the drugs should be continued without Pyrazinamide only for 9 months at the most in total.
I don't understand the reason for 1.5 yrs of treatment. Even if it's bone tb the drugs should be for 1 year and without Pyrazinamide.

I have been given akt3 (there are 2 tablet or capsule, I don't know if it is rifampicin, ethabutelor, isoniazid) to cure it. I want to know how should I take akt3?

If fresh infection and initial treatment, Then better start with four drugs having rifampicin, etyhambutol, isoniazid and pyrazinamide as per weight for first 2 months and then drop pyrazinamide and continue rest for next 4 months. All drugs should be taken together empty stomach with water.

Asked for female, 28 years old from Bhagalpur

I was suffering from tuberculosis in lungs and started medicine on 20 June 2017. After 8 months of treatment with rifampicin, Isoniazid etambutal, pyrazinamide, it didn't got cured. Then forecox started with streptomycin from 9th March but then I got lymph note tb, doctor with these medicines only this will go, but the lump is increasing. My cbnaat of cough showing MTB detected low, but Genexpert of lymph is showing MTB detected medium. Both test has rifampicin resistance Not detected. What should be I do. Still forecox with streptomycin is continued. What is the maximum days streptomycin can be continued?

Dr. Mool Chand Gupta95%(37146 ratings)

MD - Pulmonary, DTCD

Pulmonologist•Faridabad

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.
