Solonex 300Mg Tablet Health Feed

Yes
the policy is to add 2 new drugs if required
consult a specialist in tb since you intend to add only levofloxacin to already effective medication.

I will suggest you to do usg chest and bronchoscopy! tb may be a possibility. But diagnosis is not so easy. When nothing is detected, treatment is based on clinical findings!

Increase dose of ethambutol to 1000 mg if no side effects to it.
Can also increase dose of rifampicin to 500 mg (50 mg in form of syp).
If tolerated pza can also be increased to 1500 mg .kindly confirm with your doctor as side effects are common with att.

Two months intensive phase and 4 months maintenance phase.

If fresh infection and initial treatment, Then better start with four drugs having rifampicin, etyhambutol, isoniazid and pyrazinamide as per weight for first 2 months and then drop pyrazinamide and continue rest for next 4 months. All drugs should be taken together empty stomach with water.

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

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

Medicine in quadmax is insufficient as per ypour weight. Need to take rifampicin/ isoniazid 450/300 and ethambutol 800 daily in continuation phase.

Pulmonologist altered regimen and added levofloxacin because you had liver side effects with pyrazinamide which was stopped
the standard regimen of rifampicin isoniazid ethambutol pyrazinamide is a guideline with exception when necessary
it is not an inviolable dictate
still in doubt consult pulmonologist at nationaltb institute bangalore malleswaram.
