Im am 25 years old, present weight 55 kgs (70 1 years before, I am suffering from stomach pain from 1 year in frequent intervals. Im not gaining weight and always burping is the main symptom. Usg and ct scan shown some problem at lower abdomen ileal area ,linked pelvis and appendix, recent usg shown mass formation in the right side of pelvis and enlarged right iliac nodes. My doctor said it is intestinal tb and started treatment. My doubt is how he confirmed as intestinal tb? And he said I have have to take tablets for 1 year and given combunex800 (ethambutol hydrochloride 800 mg and isoniazid 300 mg) and some becoplex tabs, allergy tabs. But I came to know tb treatment will 6 months with 2 months 4 tabs and next 4 months 3 tabs. Why my doctor said treatment will be 1 year and and gave 2 tablets only?

But was not completely cure. On 24 april my family doctor told half medicine of ak4 for 4 days and then 1 tablet but vomiting was continously. On 30 april I went gastro specialist and he did my endoscopy and told me gastric infection. On 1may I was admitted to hospital till 6 may. Since 4 may I was taking 3 medicine isoniazid 300, pyzina 100 and thembutol 800. Then I went to chest specialist he did my bronchoscope and my smear and culture report came negative. So he stop the medicine. Then I went to another chest specialist he started on 21 may 2 tablets of forecox. So I totally I took 3 medicine since 4 may and forecox since 21may. Now my doctor told to do xray and then he will reduce medicine but I didn't complete 2 moths. And from when I should calculate 2mths as rifiampin started on 21may. And my medicine was stop twice. Also I have nodule of 2.8 2.9 in left breast nodule which I came to know after ct scan report. So I went to surgeon he saw my report and physical exam and told me I can wait for 6mths and operate after completing tb medicine but he didn't did any biscopy or fndc. Now should I do go to another doctor or wait for 6mths. Did ct scan report can reveal the actual disease.

Actually, dissolving it on your tongue is probably the most beneficial way to get the medication. The mouth has so many pores in it, that it sends the medicine to the body much quicker. The tongue is vascular (its a muscle), so things that come in contact with it can go directly into the blood stream.
That is the whole concept behind lozenges. Now having said that, if the medicine you were given or prescribed is not a lozenge, then you need to swallow it according to the directions.

Hello.
You are rightly given ipt along with pyridoxine as per rntcp guidelines.
Pyridoxine (vit b6) is given to prevent one side effect of isoniazid. Ie peripheral neuropathy. It has no role in the development of drug resistance to inh. So please take pyridoxine regularly and you can take it at any time of the day if you have a problem to take with other meds. Thanks.
