Asked for female, 25 years old from Thane

I am a 26 year old female on anti tb medications shall complete 3 months now. Basically being isoniazid resistant so been prescribed rifampicin, levofloxacin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide, the doctor has advised to stop pyrazinamide by this month end yet I have not overcome the side effects due to these medicines. I suffer severe vomiting and nausea at least once a month, I am also taking pan d. The doctor suggest me to stop the medicines for few days after that and restart again. After vomiting I am suffering from pain in the lower abdomen for at least 4-5 days which decreases my appetite as well. There is also swelling and pain near my ankle as well. Kindly advise if the treatment is working or not?

Hello lybrate-user, the regimen given to you seems to be proper. Nausea and vomiting is common with anti tb meds. U can take a better antacid than just pan d. Your response to the meds is decided by your chest xray. If improvements are there on that, then it means you r respomdimg to the treatment.

It should be non infective by now but may continue to be positive in montoux as antibodies have been formed already.

Firstly you should go for proper investigation to rule out MDR TB. At least CB NAAT should be done.

The combination might be a little less
check with your doctor who will revise
it might still be in the range of dose recommended.

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.
