Treatment of PTB is usauly by 4 drugs and dose is calculated on weight basis.As you are diabetic,your intensive phage should have been for 3 months and not for 1 month and also maintenance phage of ATT should be of 6 month,so total of 9 month treatment has to be taken. You should have periodic xray chest, sputum AFB and liver function test done.Your diabetic should be under control ,otherwise all treatment will be waste.

Hi⦠3 tablets of ripe fd kit should be taken together in fasting state as per your body weight ⦠otherwise you can switch to akurit 4 4 tablets all before breakfast⦠look for paradoxical phenomenon or drug resistanceâ¦if it is paradoxical phenomenon need to add oral steroids in tapering doses along with anti tuberculosis medications⦠better consult chest physician nearby. Get genexpert from lymph node aspirate. Get complete pus drainage.
