Isokin 300 Mg/10 Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 68 years old from Bangalore

After CABG I had pleural effusion on the left side of my chest. All tests including Quanty feron gold test and biopsy on the left inside of the chest showed negative results for TB. Now I am having ankylosing Spondylitis for which biologic injection Scapho is being given. Since my Mantoux test was positive, on the suspicion that I may be having latent TB, I was asked to take R Cinex 300/600 tablets for 4 months. I have taken RCinex for 2 months and thereafter because of stomach trouble I switched over to Isoniazid 300 tablets and took them for 4 months. Is this medication sufficient for the latent TB and can I stop the medication now. In 2002 because of eridocyclitis in the eye on suspicion of having TB I had taken full course of TB medicine ie. AKT4 for 9 months. Please advise. Thanks.

My mother was diagnosed with Renal Tuberculosis on 8th October after getting admitted due to bloody urine, she was started with ATT but due to severe side effects (constant vomiting, diffused encephalopathy, memory loss) it had to be stopped. The doctor told that it was the side effects of Isoniazid. She has a history of frequent UTIs. However, she was better & was passing normal urine since then after being treated with Magnex Forte Inj. But from today onwards, she is again passing bloody urine. Please help & advices is a CKD patient & her latest Urea is 48 & Creatinine is 1.4.

Alcohol never good for health to the best of my knowledge Alcohol can be metabolised by healthy liver
Healthy liver is declared after blood tests and ultrasound etc by a physician Alcohol may cause irritation to stomach even in small quantities in some individuals.

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.

In my opinion you are on wrong advise. Forecox is same as rehz and adding only streptomycin to failing treatment is not good. Get culture and sensitivity for afb and add four new anti tb drugs under supervision of respiratory physician.

It is not advisable to take this medicine. Insulin resistance is the main reason why its more challenging for you to lose weight with pcos
for pcos & thyroid people it takes time to reduce weight, so don't worry, do regular exercise especially cardio and make dietary changes it will help you.
Take proper diet without skipping meals, including green vegetables, fruits, dairy products.
Fruit is rich in fiber and is a good source of essential vitamins and minerals. Fruits with a low gi ...more
