2021-11-15 09:53:32
I was diagnosed pulmonary tb on 6/7/2021 and from the next day I'm in ATT. Initially Drug induced hepatotoxicity happend and found that pza was the culprit drug. From then my regime is going with Akurit 3. After 4.5 month I faced breating problems, so doctor gave me Foracort inhaler twice a day. I'm taking this foracort inhaler for last 1.5 month but still breathing problems is present. I'm in huge worry.
