Normal tuberculosis (i. E not drug resistant) can be treated along with presence of pregnancy. Not to worry if one has been given rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and pyrazinamide for treatment of tb along with pregnancy. So no need for abortion but regular consultation with gynaecologist for monitoring fetal well being growth and development is needed.

Rifampicin resistance not detected means Rifampicin INH pyrazinamide Ethambutol are to be taken in the requisite doses. There's no need of streptomycin injection.
Wish you good health.
Meticulous treatment adherence till cure is recommended to prevent relapse or complications.

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.

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.

1) you can continue same dose of antituberculous treatment but if joint pain is severe you can take tab ibuprofen 200 mg sos (if you do not have any history of side effects to nsaids).
2) if still its not relived, taper dose of tab pyrazinamide.

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. ...
