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.

Health Query

I had left pleural effusion and I am on ATT (rcinex, pz 1500, ethambutol 1200) for 1.5 month. On the start of treatment due to liver problem rifampicin was stopped for a week and levofloxacin 500 was added and after 1 week rifampicin 450 (earlier 600) started again and after that I am normal but doctor tried to introduce rifampicin 600 (as my weight is 67 kg) but whenever I took rifampicin 600 I feel very weak and my head, palm ,ears get heated and I feel hot so I reverted to rifampicin 450 (attempted 3 times). Sir is this dose of rifampicin sufficient and is there any chance of getting MDR tb due to low dose (I never skipped a single dose. Rcinex 450/300, pz 1500, combutol 1200, levofloxacin 500)

Your dosage depends on age and weight. If you had started akt according to appropriate dosage according to your weight and age, and now your hepatitis resolved completely, you can restart your earlier dosage.

Rifampicin resistance not detected means Rifampicin INH pyrazinamide Ethambutol are to be taken in the requisite doses. There's no need of streptomycin injection.
Wish you good health.
Meticulous treatment adherence till cure is recommended to prevent relapse or complications.
