Normal tuberculosis (i. E not drug resistant) can be treated along with presence of pregnancy.

Hi Lybrate-user
There is no serious aide effect of taking AKT4 longer. AKT4 when compared to AKT4 has 1 extra MEDICINE. It is called pyrazinamide. This medicine can cause hepatitis in some cases and not all (liver injury but it is temporary and can be treated). Another minor problem is gout related joint pain. None of them are serious and can easily be treated.

Dear,
If you have been diagnosed for the first time of TB then streptomycin is not needed. It is combination of four drugs to be taken for first two months followed by 2 drugs for another 4 months.
If it the disease relapses then streptomycin has to be taken for first 2 months and entire regimen for 8 months.
If You Are Taking only Streptomycin then It Is not the appropriate treatment. ..
Plz tell the name of all drugs you are taking. ...
