Occular TB & TB Course Duration Confusio
I have TB in eyes,for which i have been taking TB meds since Nov 17... For the initial 60 days i took Akt 4 Tablets / the Govt TB tabs... & later it was changed to Akt 2 (since my Eye doctor said Govt tabs have a substance that is not good for my vision) so i shifted to Akt2 (Privately purchased TB meds)
Now its been 60 days since am taking AKT 2 tabs... And do i have to change it again? Since am buying meds privately i dont know when is the next duration to change my tabs... Like - After inital 60 days i moved from Akt 4 to Akt 2..
Now will i have to change my tabs again? And for some reason am having bit unusual pain in my palm area and chest.. is it due to the meds?

Your physician is the best person to tell you about anti tubercular medicines.
Don't ever think of stopping/ changing the dose yourself.
