Forecox Tablet is used in spinal B successfully if you take the full course of 9 months (or more if needed) and it is a combination of four medicines: Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide which treat tuberculosis. Isoniazid works by preventing the TB bacteria from forming their own protective covering, while rifampicin inactivates a bacterial enzyme (RNA-polymerase) which is required by TB bacteria to make essential proteins and to reproduce.

9 months back, my mother was having 2 swelling seen in neck. We gone to doctor. Ent specialist. After several test like sonography, fnac it was detected as neck tb. There were total 5 in right neck with largest measuring 22 mm the doctor said to go with government medicines for tb. After 6 months course ,again sonography was done. All 5 were there size reduced with largest measuring 11 mm. Then again we were told to continue medicines for 3 months. In end of 8th month, my mother was not able to see properly. Blur vision. So we went to eye specialist, there 2 tests were done. One was for cornea and other for optic nerve damage .doctor said reports are normal and said it is due to tb medicine ethambutol. So he gave in writing to stop ethambutol. So we gone to government hospital to take medicines for for 9th month and told about blur vision. They gave 2 medicines. 1 was rifampicin and other was isoniazid. After taking for 1 month we did sonography again but now it showed lymph nodes swelling in left side also 3 to 4. And in right side largest measuring 10 mm. We told them government hospital. They told course is over. Now automatically it will go. Also vision will be clear. But it pains sometimes in neck. So they gave 1 month medicine rifampicin and isoniazid 1-1 tablet each day. They said treatment course is over but still swelling are there as in sonography. I am worried. Vision has improved slightly but not fully. Also do not know whom to ask ent or pulmonologist? please help.

If 9 months of treatment is over, att should be stopped. In cervical tb lymphadenitis, the nodes in the neck may shrink/ enlarge or new nodes can appear on the other side, all happens during the course of treatment. This doesn't mean that att didn't work or tb wasn't cured. The nodes will eventually disappear, or tiny nodes may remain in the neck permanently.

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?

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.
