Brief Answer:
No issue

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Although the Akurit (Anti TB) medicine has to be taken on empty stomach it does not mean to be taken before brushing. You can take it after brushing teeth. However the stomach has to be empty for one hour after tablets for better absorption by the acid.

The saliva of so less quantity would not negate their effectiveness. I think you should not be worried about your last four days of days. They are equally effective as the previous ones.

Hope I clarified it.

madam my daily dose is 4 tablets empty stomach early morning,now it is difficult to take with little water so I take maximum one and half glass of water for swallowing,it is not bad na if I took two glass of water , because for one week I took two glass of water for four tablets as ,hence getting doubt ,two glass or more water will not make my daily dose ineffective or their efficacy will not reduce na
