How Long Should R-Cinex Be Taken To Treat TB Infection?

I don t have tb infection (negative result in mantoux and Quantiferon gold test) but my husband has tb infection (positive result in Quantiferon gold test and TB PCR Qualitative test of semen sample shows detected/positive). I just want to know how many months he has to take R cinex 600 (Doctor prescribed that medicine)? Is the TB infection of my husband is the cause of my miscarriage?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

R-cinex is commonly given once daily for 4 months, but after the completion of the course of medications re-tests & investigations are done.

If required the medication can be continued depending upon the severity of the infection & the body's response to the treatment.

TB infection may affect sperm counts. Get your husband treated. Give him a diet rich in protein, calcium & minerals. TB medications are strong, he needs a good diet for faster cure.

Your husband is suggested not to smoke, avoid alcohol intake & addictions if any.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
