My daughter has abdomen TB and is now taking Akt4 from 1 month. She complains of pain in the back, stomach and legs. R these due to the tablets? How can I reduce her pain? Kindly advice! ## AKT-4 kit is an anti-tuberculosis drug containing the following ingredients: ethambutol + isoniazid + pyrazinamide + rifampicin. Based on my research, it sounds to me like every single active ingredient could be causing the type of pain she's describing... - Ethambutol lists stomach pain as a side effect - Isoniazid lists stomach pain or tenderness as a serious side effect - Pyrazinamide lists upset stomach as a side effect - Rifampicin lists stomach cramps; muscle weakness; pain in the arms, hands, feet, or legs; and joint pain or swelling as a serios side effect.

What are the instructions for taking akt3 doses? ## What is the sequence of taking AKT 3 tablet for the cure of TB? When do I take AKT3 tablets? ## They should be taken together, just before a meal, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, stomach pain, and flatulence. Have any of you had good results from taking it?

My mother is 66 year old and she was using AKT4 & AKT3 tablets for about 10 months.Due to this her eye sight has become poor. Doctor has advised to stop AKT3 since the course is completed. Now since she is not taking AKT3 tablet can the eye vision will come back to its origninality?? ## Hello, Suresh! How is your mother doing? Unfortunately, I really can't answer that question. It's going to depend on what caused the vision problem and what type of vision problem it is. Has she consulted an eye doctor? That would be the best way to have the problem properly evaluated.

But, i dont want to take a chance with them.

If you are in India I suggest you to go Government hospital. Treatment and medicine is completely free and no sideeffects.. India is trying to STOP T.B. ## What medicine did the government hospital offered you as I am also a TB patient and started AKT4 tablets recently and I am worried about the side effects I read on the internet?? ## My friend do this and you will be healthy 100% sure...

i started akt tablets from 25-11-2011.from march i have stopped combutol and pyrizine and taking r cinex and benadon. so how long i've to continue r cinex ## AKT doses varies with severity of illness. starting from 7 mnth to 1 yrs or sometimes even more. ethambutol doses can be adjusted by your doc but let your doc take the decision. as koch shows a relapse in many cases. get well soon
