Yes it may effect your treatment if you are not taking adequate dose as per your weight. There is no need to purchase AKT 4 tablets as government gives tubercular treatment for free. Do not worry about the quality of the drugs from the government as they are prepared by good international standards. All the four medicines are combined in a single tablet and the number of tablets you take depends on your weight. Consult an RNTCP center close to you. They will give you appropriate dose as per your body weight for free until you finish your treatment.
