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.

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.

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