Hello.
You are rightly given ipt along with pyridoxine as per rntcp guidelines.
Pyridoxine (vit b6) is given to prevent one side effect of isoniazid. Ie peripheral neuropathy. It has no role in the development of drug resistance to inh. So please take pyridoxine regularly and you can take it at any time of the day if you have a problem to take with other meds. Thanks.

Wish you good health.
Meticulous treatment adherence till cure is recommended to prevent relapse or complications.

Another test of microbial culture and drug susceptibility that takes 4-12 weeks.
Both are available in State Govt TB centres free of cost.

My father aged 68, some 8 months back was diagnosed for Spine TB and he started on AKT4 for 2 months, AKT3 for the next month but had to stop due to vision loss and following 5 months was taking Rifampicin and Isoniazid. His vision is almost back with some eye power complaint. Recent blood report shows hemoglobin at 11.5. He has recently started to complaint about burning sensation while peeing and frequent urination. His Blood urea, BUN is high and so is creatinine = 1.77. I consulted general medicine doctor and put him on nefrolex for 5 days and then redo the KFT. However, after taking this medicine he was complaining of back pain, joint pain, fever, mouth rash, loose stool and high glucose reading. Its 9 days since he started neroflex and 4 days he has stopped, his is left with stomach pain and high glucose reading. Will the high blood glucose subside soon? He was at 99/153 before and is reporting 145/225 now. We have eliminated almost all carbs barring greens, salad and increased protein to prevent any ill effects. He is taking gliclazide for sugar control. FYI. He is taking 40 mg of pyridoxine, his blood work shows platelet count=130, ESR 70, CRP has come down from 67 to 8.4, LFT results are normal, Remarks of Hemogram: RBCs: Mild anisopoikilocytosis. Predominantly macrocytic normochromic with macroovalocytes. WBCs: Mild Leukopenia is present. Platelets: Appear mildly reduced in smear. Macroplatelets are seen. Urine has pus cells loaded.

Rifampicin is oral (systemic) and antibiotic drops are (topical) less chances of interactions. Please ask your ear doctor about the interaction directly. Not all antibiotics interact with each other.

It's ok to take your fasting RComes which I consider is rifampicin and isoniazid 15 to 30 min empty stomach then only breakfast .avoid Razo d with it. If needed can be taken even before dinner. Rest is good. Weight gain is reassuring. Do get regular monitoring of disease with your physician.
