Health Query

My aunt is of weight 73 kg. She has dry cough and enlarged lymph nodes in neck. On doing fnac of neck lymph nodes, tuberculous lymphadenitis was suggested. She was started tb treatment on rcinex 600 combutol 1000 pyniza (750 mg×2). Today she has completed 2 months with above medicines. Now the doctor suggested to take akt4 for next 4 months. They have heard that after completing 2 months, one tablet (pyrazinamide) has to be stopped. Please suggest what to do and which medicines to be taken as 2 months have been completed.

Health Query

I had left pleural effusion and I am on ATT (rcinex, pz 1500, ethambutol 1200) for 1.5 month. On the start of treatment due to liver problem rifampicin was stopped for a week and levofloxacin 500 was added and after 1 week rifampicin 450 (earlier 600) started again and after that I am normal but doctor tried to introduce rifampicin 600 (as my weight is 67 kg) but whenever I took rifampicin 600 I feel very weak and my head, palm ,ears get heated and I feel hot so I reverted to rifampicin 450 (attempted 3 times). Sir is this dose of rifampicin sufficient and is there any chance of getting MDR tb due to low dose (I never skipped a single dose. Rcinex 450/300, pz 1500, combutol 1200, levofloxacin 500)

There is no chance to get MDR TB I you taken low dose but it takes more time to cure. And with taking ATT medicine generally lver disturb so you can take liver supplement wd them.

You can use Rosuvas 10 instead of EZ combination. But it that is your written prescription by your doctor, then it will be better you try to find Rosuvas EZ.

Every medicine has side effects. You maybe taking drugs unnecessarily. Ezetimibe is required very seldom. Please post your lipid report for better opinion. Best wishes.

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.

Asked for male, 32 years old from Hyderabad

My father, aged 68, was recently in complete bed rest for the last 3 months and was taking akt 4 ofr first 2 months and then 1 month of akt3 after being diagnosed with Pott's spine. Spine surgeon told us that he is clinically doing really well and his CRP has improved from 67 to 11.2 Recently he is started to have blurred vision so we checked with Eye specialists and they suggested it to be EMB induced optical neuropathy. Its been some 4 weeks now that we have stopped Ethambutol and he has partially regained vision though there is acuity problems still. Now that he is on Rifampicin and Isoniazid, does he need to take some other medicine in place of ethambutol for his TB treatment? Hope stopping Ethambutol will not effect his spinal TB.

Dr. Jayvirsinh Chauhan93%(35817 ratings)

There are other optional medicines also with less side effects but for that you will need to consult your physician.
Or you can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment. Which is safer and can help a lot in vision ans spine.
