I'm on my 5th month of taking those medicines. I dont actually had any pimple problem before especially on my face. But when I got confined due to pneumonia, my doctor advised me to take those medicines to cure the spot on my lungs. And since I take those medicines, I got these pimples all over my face. They're are so annoying. Like I even lost my self confidence because of them. Is there any ways to avoid them? After taking my mediation, will they be gone for real? Please give me an advice. :( ## I'm on my 5th month of taking those medicines. I dont actually had any pimple problem before especially on my face.

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. This is so you can take them altogether, rather than getting a prescription filled for 4 separate drugs. 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...

Hi, My 10 month old son is undergoing treatment for primary complex. 3 months completed out of a total proposed 6 months. Now the doc has asked him to take iron supplements also. Is it alright to go ahead with iron supplements? I had read somewhere that iron supplements should be avoided during the treatment. Please clarify. Thanks.

Hi, My mother was suffering from Abdomen TB. She got operated 5 months back. After operation, she was given AKT4 tablet for 4 months and then shifted on AKT3 & Neurobion tablets. But now she is facing problem of continuous acidity and vomitting feel. What could be the reason that after reducing one tablet also acidity increasing? Is there any need of using anti acidity tablet along with AKT3? Please advice. ## @VVK, Sorry to hear about your mother's condition with acidity. Based on my research the AKT-3 kit contains a combination of Ethambutol + Isoniazide + Rifampicin... So I went ahead and looked up the side effect profile for each of those medications individually and while I haven't come across any mention of increased acidity, all three medications do list nausea and vo...

i am taking myrin p-forte for nearly two months now. starting last Aug. 3, 2013. After taking it for 3 days, I begun to feel the side effects such as dizziness, blurry vision, loss of appetite and I feel so weak that I have to go back to bed right after i eat. This goes on for several weeks. After a month, I began to feel better, i can now go back to my normal life but the dizziness never goes away accompanied by blurry vision. Is it normal to feel all these while taking the medicine? how long should i endure it? :( ## Hello, Sen! How are you feeling? Yes, there are some side effects that tend to persist for the duration of the time you're being treated. However, you need to continue the medications.

It is white, oblong and has M6 on 1 side and blank on the other ## Hi Andy, Based on the description provided, the closest match I'm currently finding is a white "round" pill marked with M6 on one side and blank on the other. This particular tablet is identified as Myambutol (100mg), and is said to be manufactured by a company called Stat Trade Inc. Myambutol (Ethambutol) is a drug indicated for the treatment of tuberculosis. I know you mentioned that your pill was oblong-shaped as opposed to round, but please post back if this sounds like it could be a viable match. I hope this helps!

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. With that said, your best bet w...

In the first month of taking Myrin P Forte, the patient may suffer from liver problems, depending on the patients' liver reaction on the drug. Having yellowish skin. Side - effects include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and vomiting ## Liver problems are possible with most medications, however, one must weigh any possible risks, against the benefits of using a drug. Myrin-P Forte contains Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, Isoniazid and Rifampicin and is used to treat Tuberculosis infections. Therefore, there is a very great risk, if someone doesn't take the medication, because TB that is left untreated can be fatal. Are there any other questions or comments? ## HI there... I've been taking myrin p-forte since Aug.3, 2013 and up to now.. Sept. 25, 2013.. i can still feel dizziness accom...
