The doses of TB medications are according to body weight with a maximum recommended dose. Some times doses need to be modified as per kidney function test. I think you need to reconsult your doctor for doses as per body weight as per guideline.

Dear Lybrate User, If you have completed the TB Treatment course under guidance of a doctor, be confident of proper treatment.
For proper diagnosis of cough get your CBC ESR & Sputum (AFB, Gram's, Fungus) test done & contact on Lybrate Consultation Platform for better understanding your health requirements and treatment advice.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hello,
akt once started needs to be continued for 6 to 9 months.
You could do a liver function test blood test just so as to see if akt has caused any hepatic disfunction which is a known side effect of akt
and make sure she takes the tablets in 10 min interval.
U can try to take the tabelts 2 hour after food if she has been taking it empty stomach.
Hope this helps.

Dear Lybrateuser, you have not mentioned the duration of present ATT therapy.
Please note that TB treatment is a step wise therapy and despite best efforts some side effects like vomiting & loss of appetite occur at start of treatment.
You should have patience and please don't change / switch / alter TB medicines or their doses.
Kindly reconsult your doctor to solve this issue.
But in case the vomiting does not decrease, you can always have a second opinion from a Pulmonologist.<...more
