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 would probably be to talk with her doctor about switching over to another type of medication; hopefully one with less potential adverse effects.

I hope this helps!
