Asked for male, 21 years old from Nagpur

Hey I've been taking the following medicines for 4 months and still counting. 1) Isoniazid 2) pyrazinamide 3) moxifloxacin 4) Ethambutol 5) 60 streptomycin injections (10 pending) and lastly I wanna tell I also took omnacortil steroid 10 mg for 3 months along with these medicines and it's over now. I have swelling on my body because of it. I just wanted to know how long will it take to go away. can I gain weight at this point when I have swelling. If this swelling goes away I'd be thin as I was. I want to gain some weight before the swelling goes away totally. It's been 15 days I stopped taking omnacortil. please suggest me some ways to gain weight with this condition. I have to take akt for more 5 months.

Asked for male, 32 years old from Hyderabad

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 read that Rifampicin could induce such problems. I consulted general medicine doctor and he was concerned and asked to remove azulix (sugar medicine) and include nefrolex for 5 days and then redo the KFT. however he thing rifampicin could rarely cause this kind of toxicity. 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, His back pain is almost gone. 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.

Hello, I have pulmonary tuberculosis .i am 2nd time tuberculosis patient (i suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis in 2008. Now, My sputum test says 3+ afb detected and my Gene Xpert says - HIGH MTB DETECTED and NOT RESISTANCE TO rifampicin. I am on ATT (FIRST LINE WITH STREPTOMYCIN) from 1 month. BUT, I have very high grade fever almost 103 degree at evening. My blood test for typhoid, malaria, kalajar are negative. There is no weight gain in this 1 month after ATT started. My weight is 38, haemoglobin is 7 and RBC is 2.60,ESR - 98. This high grade fever irritates me and there is no gain in weight after 1 month of treatment. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Kidly write detail of ATT with doses. Streptomycin have no role in retreatment . In most cases fever starts showing downtrends in 15 days, but in some may take long time. sputum should also be sent for afb culture and sensitivity to primary drugs.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Kolkata

I am a 21 years male and I am suffering from Tuberculosis, my eight months medication is over and last month drugs are ongoing. I take rifampicin, isoniazid 600 and combutol 1000 daily and regularly . Since last 3 months I have lost interest in alcohol and whenever I am with my friends and I take 1 or 2 peg of alcohol after half an hour later I start vomiting . My Liver function tests are normal everything is fine with my body but I cannot understand that before taking this medication I often drank 5-6 peg of alcohol but never vomited and now vomiting problem creates a huge embarrassment for me, well since last 3 months I had alcohol for only 3 times and all the three times I have vomited.

Well, it's good that you have limited your alcohol consumption to the minimum. Alcohol and isoniazid do not react well when taken together. Alcohol may increase the risk of liver damage with isoniazid. Those who are on isoniazid are advised to abstain from alcohol as they may have unpleasant side effects. Once the drug is stopped you will not have these symptoms after alcohol consumption.

Alcohol never good for health to the best of my knowledge Alcohol can be metabolised by healthy liver
Healthy liver is declared after blood tests and ultrasound etc by a physician Alcohol may cause irritation to stomach even in small quantities in some individuals.

Asked for male, 68 years old from Bangalore

After CABG I had pleural effusion on the left side of my chest. All tests including Quanty feron gold test and biopsy on the left inside of the chest showed negative results for TB. Now I am having ankylosing Spondylitis for which biologic injection Scapho is being given. Since my Mantoux test was positive, on the suspicion that I may be having latent TB, I was asked to take R Cinex 300/600 tablets for 4 months. I have taken RCinex for 2 months and thereafter because of stomach trouble I switched over to Isoniazid 300 tablets and took them for 4 months. Is this medication sufficient for the latent TB and can I stop the medication now. In 2002 because of eridocyclitis in the eye on suspicion of having TB I had taken full course of TB medicine ie. AKT4 for 9 months. Please advise. Thanks.
