Few patient can have drug side effect. Get LFT and serum uric acid test done and consult your doctor as TB medicine needs reduction of dose at 2 months.

No TB treatment on basis of mantoux test report is recommended. Lymph node size need monitoring and also FNAC.

Asked for female, 24 years old from Mumbai

I'm a tb patient and I was initially asked to take the regular att medication. Soon, it led to extreme nausea and vomiting and caused a spike in my sgpt and sgot. I couldn't continue with the same medication and hence the medication was changed to solonex 300, moxifloxacin 400 and ethambutol 1000. Can I avoid rifampicin and pyrazinamide which were present in the previous medication as they were causing an adverse effect on me? And can I continue with the new medication as my permanent medication?

There is a way to treat drug- induced hepatitis. We should stop all att, then introduce the first- line drugs in small doses, one by one, repeating sgot/sgpt ay regular intervals. There is no need to add a second-line drug like moxifloxacin.

I am 33 years old. Two years ago, I was treated for tuberculosis in the testicle and I took treatment for 9 months consist of ifampicin 225 mg, isoniazid 150 mg, pyrazinamide 500 mg. Since then I suffered from skin allergies (ex. Itching, acne. Etc ), acidity, bloating and allot of gases of about two years. I became allergic to milk products and some foods such as legumes and nuts. I wonder if you have a successful treatment prescription for such a situation.

it is very unlikely that allergy of drug persists for so long and even after the treatment.
proper history with detailed clinical examination will help in arriving diagnosis and correct treatment.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Delhi

I am taking ATT for tb in lymphs below jaw. I consulted to a doctor in civil hospital. He prescribed me Dots for 6 months. I can not go daily to take it there itself so I took ATT from private doctor. He prescribed me 1. R-cinex 600 2. Pyzina 1000 3. Pyzina 500 4. Pyri 10 and 5. Combutol 1000 for 12 months. My questions are 1. Is this dosage right? I mean its so heavy dose. 2. Is the duration prescribed is right or he just want to earn consultation money. 3. As the dosage is heavy, how much water should I drink and at what frequency. My weight is 74N and my height is 5'7" 4. I am having itching on my legs and headache from yesterday. Will it go on its own? Is it a side effect of dose. How can I prevent these. 5. From this dosage, my liver will get effected. What can I do to prevent it? The urine turns orange in color after medicine. Also, I can not drink too much water as well otherwise it will add load to my liver. Is it true? 6. He mentioned blood test and liver tests after 10 days. Why it is required?

For itching anti histaminic is needed ethambutol should be given for 3 -6 months. Blood and liver tests are not routinely tested but if signs of jaundice are there needs to be done. 3 litres of water should be adequate per day. Wish you speedy recovery.

Asked for male, 33 years old from Chandigarh

I started treatment on 5 Dec 2017 with TB (I have infection in my colon, I used to have stomach pains) 1. Combutol 8002. Pyrazinamide 10003. Ricnex 300/450.4. Sompraz D.Then after 1 month, when I did LFT the ALT level were 129.0, so my doctor switched me to below medication for 1 month 1. Combutol 800 2. levoflox 750 3. Uricure 300 (2 Tablets) 4. Streptomycin 0.75 mg for 31 day (one injection daily) Then after 31 days when we did LFT (We did multiple LFTs in between to keep track to see my ALT levels are lowering) everything was good and we switched back to 1. Combutol 8002. Pyrazinamide 15003. Ricnex 300/450.4. Sompraz D.After taking above medication for 3 weeks, Then I fall sick due to some cold and had fever for 3-4 days and my ALT levels again at 150.0 and then now my doctor has again switched to Streptomycin injections 1. Combutol 8002. levoflox 7503. Uricure 300 (2 Tablets) 4. Streptomycin 0.75 mg for 31 day (one injection daily) So now after almost 3 months, from 27/02/2018 I am on injections and combutol again. Don’t I need Rcinex? Is it ok to switch like this and wait for alt levels to lower again and again start with rcinex and pyrazinamide. I did not have any other problem during this 3 months period, its just my alt levels go up. Please advise, do I need to consult some other doctor?
