I am 39 years male. I have been taking akurit 4 for the past 15 days for TB treatment. I have not taken alcohol but if I wish to take alcohol once, can I stop the medicine a day before and again start it the next day after consuming alcohol? Will there be any effects? I would like to inform that this would be only once as there is an occasion and would not repeat it till the course ends.

Hi Vijay... Stopping the TB Medicine will be a major problem... You may need to start the treatment again or will need to take it longer...so my advise is do not stop it

It is not advisable to stop TB drugs. Consuming alcohol with Anti TB medicine may have some raised risk of liver toxicity, but if their is such a dire need to consume alcohol so as otherwise you may be penalised for not consuming on that specific day and penality is more severe than you health needs that you are afraid to withstand that penality, then one may take alcohol keeping in mind the liver functions tests to rule out liver toxicity.
