Hello
This disease ( pulmonary tuberculosis ) is very common and treatment is very simple ,but you must take care about few things.
1 Take full treatment as advised by your doctor .
2 Don't change doctors ( treating) .
3 Don't stop medicine don't take medicine at their own will . ( regular intake is important).
Forecox 2 tablet one in day is standard treatment for patient ( > 50 kg body weight ). Rifampicin 225, isoniazide 150, pyrazinamide 750 mg, ethmbutol 400 mg in a single tablet so 2 tablets a make a perfect dose. When patient visit my clinic with vomiting ( nausea ) , loss of appetite , dizziness ( few patient ) I advise them to take some antacid syrup for vomiting ( nausea ) , if symptoms are sever patient may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors like pantaloc-D according to necessity.
If dose don't adjust on empty stomach patient can take 2-3 hours after meal .
Hope this information will help you.
