Brief Answer:
Rifampicin to be taken empty stomach.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
See, the kit you have contains 4 tablets.
One of them must be a red color capsule labelled as Rifampicin.
This one should be taken empty stomach in the morning and remaining others can be taken after breakfast.
Along with this you also need to take a supplement Benadon (Pyridoxine) to prevent peripheral neuropathy which is a side effect of Isoniazid, one of the component of AKT-4.
Another issue is Gastritis, that most people experience following consumption of these medicines. So we do prescribe a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone along to prevent it.
Check out with your doctor, he must have prescribed you that. In case not, discuss with him my opinion.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Don't worry.

Detailed Answer:
Its simply Tuberculosis of Epididymis.
Many times I say, if you have to choose a Disease choose TB!! At least its completely treatable. Its not like diabetes, BP for which you have to take medicines life long.
It has no relation with alcohol , smoking and all.
Treatment duration depends on the severity. May vary from 6-9 months.
Yes, you can transmit it to your wife. So, I would advise you to get married after around 6 months.
Don't worry. You will be fine.
Medicines given to you are fine.
Just you need to add Pantoprazole for acidity. So, if you develop that start taking that too.
If you have any further query please ask me.

Dear Friend.
I am sorry ,I ha e no idea what this Tablet actually contains. Couldn't composition on internet also.
Just check on the strip and tell me what it contains. It seems to me a pain killer and anti inflammatory.
My concern is that has you mass been tested? I mean has FNAC or biopsy done?
If yes, attach the report. The report you are mentioning is of ultrasound. It doesn't prove that this is Tuberculosis.
If not be proved by biopsy or FNAC, a reconsideration of diagnosis is required.
