Treatment of PTB is usauly by 4 drugs and dose is calculated on weight basis.As you are diabetic,your intensive phage should have been for 3 months and not for 1 month and also maintenance phage of ATT should be of 6 month,so total of 9 month treatment has to be taken. You should have periodic xray chest, sputum AFB and liver function test done.Your diabetic should be under control ,otherwise all treatment will be waste.

Asked for male, 37 years old from Kheda

Sir I have been taking treatment for last six months of TB. I missed the tablet of R-cinex 600 in early morning before breakfast. But I took it very soon after break fast and then after half an hour take routine combutol 1200 mg. So there will be any problem?

No problem but better to take all TB drugs empty stomach with water and avoid eating for 1 hour for better TB killing effect, if a patient can tolerate.

Health Query

My wife took ATT treatment and finished her 12 months course (R-cinex 600& combutol ). There is a overlap of 8 weeks pregnancy when she finished her course. Is it safe to continue pregnancy, please advice. We are open to both options.

Dear lybrate-user, generally nothing happens. However since the anxiety has creeped in & 100% safety cannot be guaranteed you may go for termination.

Firstly you should go for proper investigation to rule out MDR TB. At least CB NAAT should be done.

Can anti tb drugs (Ricnex 450/300, pyzina 1500 and combutol 1000) cause severe buttock/hip pain? Can anti tb drugs (Ricnex, pyzina and combutol) results in lowering of Calcium level and vitamin D3? Can anti tb drugs (Ricnex, pyzina and combutol) results in high level of uric acid? Is it possible that use of these drugs can cause weakness in body which results in limping movements?

Asked for male, 28 years old from Bhopal

My mother has renal TB, 5 years back she had taken normal TB treatment for 6 months and there was an stent in ureters for 6 months. After 6 months the doctor said their is still swelling in ureters so you need an operation. So we decided not to do any operation. My mother stopped all medicine. But their was some pain in right kidney continuously. So we decided to show again to an urologist in june. The doctor said your tb is still not cured. The doctor said we need to put stent again in right ureters and start again tb medicine. So now to condition is there is an stent and my mother is taking tb medicine from 6 july. The urologist referred to govt tb hospital for tb treatment. My mother is taking cat -2 treatment with streptomycin. She had taken 60 injection. And now she is having vision problem, so tb expert said you need to stop ethambutol. So we stopped ethambutol. So I want to ask to you sir, that, should we stop ethambutol or not.

Yes on finding any evidence of Ethambutol eye toxicity, Ethambutol needs to be stopped immediately and not to be given again. An eye specialist should document the same. If required it should be replaced by another Antitubercular drug preferably with known sensitivity.
