Tb of lungs

2023-11-25 07:26:43
I have been diagnosed with TB of Lungs . Initially i became weak and fever was not coming down.. I was put on Akurit 4 and slowly it settled.. Now my liver enzymes raised to Sgpt-505 Sgot-240 Doctor stopped Akurit 4 Prescribed the below 1. ETHAMBUTOL 1200 MG ONCE DAILY AFTER FOOD 2. RIFAMPICIN 600 MG ONCE DAILY (EMPTY STOMACH) 3. PYRODOXINE 10MG -ONCE DAILY 4. LEVOFLOXACIN 1000 MG - ONCE DAILY AFTER FOOD. I am very much tensed whether the treatment offered to me is correct? Whether these drugs will cure my TB..? Can I enjoy my life like earlier? I am very young age . Age-35 Weight -84 Height -167 cm. Please help?

Yes, you will have to prescribed drugs until you liver enzymes get normal . Then you will be shifted to your previous treatment . Nothing to worry , you will be cured , keep adherence to medicine , increase nutrition supplements, consult pulmonologist regularly .
