Had it being lymphoma then it would not responde to ant I tb drugs. Pyrazinamide used as tb drug can cause increase s uric acid which can cause pain. As treatment stopped 6 month back, that also will not a cause.

Asked for male, 38 years old from Jaipur

I have been prescribed pyzina 1000 along with wysolone 40 as Dr. was not distinguish between tb and sarcoidosis. After a month of medication uric acid test shows 13.55 which is very high. Now Dr. wants pyzina 1000 to be discontinued and advised to take disprin 325 thrice a day with milk. Is it advisable to discontinue pyzina midway and start disprin.

TB can never be treated with pyzina and prednisolone alone. The diagnosis should be established by histopathological examination (biopsy). If it is determined as TB, then full-fledged antitubercular drugs should be prescribed. If it is diagnosed as sarcoidosis, the first treatment is prednisolone and if the response is not adequate, then various chemotherapeutic drugs should be added.

Hello lybrate-user. You should trust the doctor. The articles on the internet are not always authentic.
Pyzina is a medicine for tuberculosis. And it is a humble suggestion that don't change it without the prescription of the doctor.

Taking 3 drugs only? Not on ethambutol?
Taking all the drugs together has better efficacy than as individual. Take all of them empty stomach.
