The AKT-4 Kit combines 4 essential TB drugs into one convenient dose package, so you can take them altogether, rather than getting a prescription filled for 4 separate drugs.

It contains:

1 tab of ethambutol 800 mg, isoniazid 300 mg, 2 tabs of pyrazinamide 750 mg, Each combipack contains 1 cap of rifampicin 450 mg

Side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Hi, I have an infection in my lymph gland with Mycobacterium and i was treated by AKT-4 by the doctor. The AKT-4 kit contains one red tablet, 2 identical white tablets and 1 white tablet which is little bigger than the other 2 idnetical tablets.
I was adiviced to have the red tablet in the morning before break fast, one among the 2 identical tablets after break fast, the bigger tablet in the afternoon and the remaining one in the night after dinner.
But some times, by mistake I took the bigger tablet in the night instead of taking it in the afternoon. So I want to know if it is fine if i take it in the night.
Thank you for your adivce.

Hi

I had no symptoms of TB but was detected with TB & advised to take AKT4.

After taking medication, a few weeks later, my body is heavily reliant on these tablets. If I delay in taking these medicines or do not eat my meals on time, I start catching fever & cough.

The doctor says its normal but I am worried.

Also, I forget to take my vitamin supplements sometimes and take the red pill after meal. Is it going to cause any problem?

The red capsulse(rifampicin) should be taken one hour before breakfast or 3 hours after breakfast ,and the rest three tablets after breakfast....but whatever timings u maintain it should be followed everyday ,and take rifampicin only with water,not with milk or any other juice,as it is contraindicated in most of the things

Hi, I am a 31 year old man. My doc suggested AKT 4 for bilateral tubal blockage. Now my question is, I am taking the tablets on an empty stomach in the morning and after 2-3 hours taking the forth tablet, then after two hours the rest of the tablets, lasting the whole day till 10 pm. It has been more than one month now with the treatment and I am worried if this is the correct way of taking these tablets? Or is my body building up drug resistance? What to do now?

My son is age 19. For the last 3 months he's had a cough. He took a montax test which was positive and the doctor had given akt4 tablets to take for 2 months. Then we go back for a checkup and he's given another 3 month course. In the meantime we checked the sputum test and it shows negative only. Should he continue taking the medicine continuously? pls advice.
