Increase dose of ethambutol to 1000 mg if no side effects to it.
Can also increase dose of rifampicin to 500 mg (50 mg in form of syp).
If tolerated pza can also be increased to 1500 mg .kindly confirm with your doctor as side effects are common with att.

Hi I'm 24 year old TB patient (lymph node tb) .I was taking akt4. My liver reacted to pyrazinamide so my doctor stopped it after taking it for 2 -3 days. So My doctor suggested 9 months isoniazid and rifampicin .Is it ok?

No. Kindly wait for few days. And start again. Isoniazid Nd rifampin regime is outdated. At present isoniazid Nd rifampin and ethambutol is considered. Nd infact pyrazinamide has less liver toxicity as compared to rifampin.

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.

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.

ATT is usually taken for 6 months. After 2 months, pyrazinamide is stopped and other medications should be continued.
In your case case, i suggest you to repeat a CXR to look for the response and amount of remaining fluid. Also continue rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol for atleast 3 more months. You can stop pyrazimamide.
