I am 61 Years old, i got operated lymphnode. After biopsy it says Tuburcolus Lyphedentis. Doctor Subscribed me AKT4 one sascet daily for six months. Do i need to do any test before starting the medicine. LFT has not done. ## AKT-4 kit is an anti-tuberculosis drug containing: 1 (tab) ethambutol 800 mg + isoniazid 300 mg + 2 (tabs) pyrazinamide 750 mg + 1 (cap) rifampicin 450 mg.

For proper instructions on how and when to take your dose, I would strongly recommend discussing this with your doctor since he/she is the one who prescribed it to you, and may insist that you take it a certain way. However, I think that your doctor should've given you instructions or a patient prescribing...
