Hi as per your infromation ,akt4 have 4 salt rifampicin ,isoniazid ,ethambutol, pyrazinamide, many times seen that pyrazinamid have side effects of joint pain, then it must be better for confirm blood test for better examination of osterarthrits and rehumatoid like cbc, esr, anti ccp test ,rf factor.

Hi Lybrate-user
There is no serious aide effect of taking AKT4 longer. AKT4 when compared to AKT4 has 1 extra MEDICINE. It is called pyrazinamide. This medicine can cause hepatitis in some cases and not all (liver injury but it is temporary and can be treated). Another minor problem is gout related joint pain. None of them are serious and can easily be treated.

1) you can continue same dose of antituberculous treatment but if joint pain is severe you can take tab ibuprofen 200 mg sos (if you do not have any history of side effects to nsaids).
2) if still its not relived, taper dose of tab pyrazinamide.

Dear,
If you have been diagnosed for the first time of TB then streptomycin is not needed. It is combination of four drugs to be taken for first two months followed by 2 drugs for another 4 months.
If it the disease relapses then streptomycin has to be taken for first 2 months and entire regimen for 8 months.
If You Are Taking only Streptomycin then It Is not the appropriate treatment. ..

Plz tell the name of all drugs you are taking. ...
