Econex 800 mg/300 mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for Male, 26 years old from Delhi

Diagnosed tb lymphadenitis. Taking drugs rcnex in morning then ethambutol after breakfast, pyrazinamide after lunch. Earlier my fever was continuous, had to take 4 paracetamol in a day. Now after 13 days of treatment only one paracetamol as only one fever peak in evening. Drug senstivity test was not done. Is this the correct way of taking medicines and how many days to wait to become afebrile before going for biopsy for drug senstivity.

your fever is almost under controll means medicine has started working. If you show good response to treatment why go for vsensitivity test, if no response to above drugs then next step will be taken, take above medicine with a single day miss and take good nutritious diet with milk, egg, fruits and vegetables good luck.

My brother is being treated lymph node tb treatment for last 2 months. Genexpert and other drug susceptibility tests are done and no resistance to any medicine but after having akurit 4 for 45 days with other supporting medicine AST/ALT reports are not good so doctor suggested streptomycin injections and ethambutol 1200.

Will need to reintroduce the previous medicine one by one when ot/pt return to nornal. Only streptomycin and ethambutol is not sufficient to treat.

If you are only on these two medicine since begining then your treatment is wrong. Need pyrazinamide in first 2 months of your treatment and also dose of ethambutol is not as per yout weight. Get urine examination routine and culture to r/o urine infection.

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.
