Alcohol 30 ml or 120 ml it is harmful..
Also there are many other factors that affect metabolism..
Like high stressful life, sedentary lifestyle also hormonal imbalance..
Etc..
You should consult and take proper treatment..

Asked for female, 45 years old from Bangalore

I am taking treatment for tuberculosis. I am taking medications from the past 3 months. In the beginning doctor gave the following medication (for 8 days) 1. Rifampicin - 450 mg 2. Ethambutol - 600 mg 3. Isoniazid - 200 mg 5. Benadon - 20 mg 6. Pyrazinamide - 1000 mg then liver got affected so he put me on this for a week (7 days) (i got drug induced hepatitis) 1. Ethambutol - 600 mg 2. Levoflox 750 mg 3. Injection amikacin 500m mg (iv) then again for one week (7 days) he gave, 1. Ethambutol - 600 mg 2. Levoflox 750 mg 3. Injection amikacin 500m mg (iv) 4. Isoniazid - 100 mg taking isoniazid again affected the liver, so he stopped isoniazid and he gave this for 5 weeks, 1. Ethambutol - 600 mg 2. Levoflox 750 mg 3. Injection amikacin 500m mg (iv) then when the liver condition became ok, doctor has given the following medication 1. Rifampicin - 450 mg 2. Ethambutol - 600 mg 3. Isoniazid - 200 mg 4. Benadon - 20 mg 5. Levoflox 750 mg this is what is going on now. I am not sure if the treatment being given is right or not. I had consulted another pulmonologist who says this is not the right treatment as drugs should not be changed so often. Also he says amikacin and levoflox are given for mdr tb and not for normal tb. Now that it is already given I cannot change that. The other pulmonologist says that if it is these drugs then one needs to give it for 9 months as pyrazinamide is not given. He also says if sputum is negative then we can stop levofloxin and give the drugs for 4 months. However I am not getting sputum for testing also. I have two questions now. 1. Other than sputum testing is there any other way of finding out if tb bacteria is still there in the body. If that is the only way is there any way of generating sputum. 2. Should att-4 with the four standard medications be started again. What is the best alternative. Kindly suggest.

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.

Asked for Male, 26 years old from Delhi

Diagnosed tb lymphadenitis. Taking drugs rcnex in morning then ethambutol after breakfast, pyrazinamide after lunch. Earlier my fever was continuous, had to take 4 paracetamol in a day. Now after 13 days of treatment only one paracetamol as only one fever peak in evening. Drug senstivity test was not done. Is this the correct way of taking medicines and how many days to wait to become afebrile before going for biopsy for drug senstivity.

your fever is almost under controll means medicine has started working. If you show good response to treatment why go for vsensitivity test, if no response to above drugs then next step will be taken, take above medicine with a single day miss and take good nutritious diet with milk, egg, fruits and vegetables good luck.

Asked for male, 25 years old from Greater Noida

My brother is being treated lymph node tb treatment for last 2 months. Genexpert and other drug susceptibility tests are done and no resistance to any medicine but after having akurit 4 for 45 days with other supporting medicine AST/ALT reports are not good so doctor suggested streptomycin injections and ethambutol 1200. Is treatment going on right direction or should we consult another pulmonologist?

Will need to reintroduce the previous medicine one by one when ot/pt return to nornal. Only streptomycin and ethambutol is not sufficient to treat.

Few patient can have drug side effect. Get LFT and serum uric acid test done and consult your doctor as TB medicine needs reduction of dose at 2 months.

If you are only on these two medicine since begining then your treatment is wrong. Need pyrazinamide in first 2 months of your treatment and also dose of ethambutol is not as per yout weight. Get urine examination routine and culture to r/o urine infection.

Asked for female, 24 years old from Mumbai

I'm a tb patient and I was initially asked to take the regular att medication. Soon, it led to extreme nausea and vomiting and caused a spike in my sgpt and sgot. I couldn't continue with the same medication and hence the medication was changed to solonex 300, moxifloxacin 400 and ethambutol 1000. Can I avoid rifampicin and pyrazinamide which were present in the previous medication as they were causing an adverse effect on me? And can I continue with the new medication as my permanent medication?

There is a way to treat drug- induced hepatitis. We should stop all att, then introduce the first- line drugs in small doses, one by one, repeating sgot/sgpt ay regular intervals. There is no need to add a second-line drug like moxifloxacin.

I am taking anti tb drugs since september, which consists of isoniazid, ethambutol and levofloxacin, and my doctor says it shall be continued till september 21 and antihypertensive and foracort inhaler also. I do not know if it is a side effect of the medicine or I am developing some other disease, I am feeling tired all the time with body aches and feverish but no temperature. I fear for covid but my doctor said you are not having any such symptoms. I am very much in tension as you know the severity of the disease. I fear of having a test. Kindly suggest.

It's very important that how long you are facing these symptoms. If these symptoms are of short duration. You should definitely try to rule out covid by doing your rt-pcr test for covid. As the incidence of covid is very high in present scenario.
