Suggest Treatment For Tb
I Doctor,
My friend is suffering from TB and she is advised to take the AKT2 tablets for three months. She has been taking these tablets now nearl one and a half month. How long will it take to be cured and is there any way to get this cured at the earliest. I really dont want to see her suffer.

the treatment your friend is taking is absolutely wrong..(the no of drugs and duration of treatment is wrong for any organ tuberculosis)
tab AKT 2 contains two anti tubercular drugs rifampicin and isoniazid..
WHO or RNTCP India or any other book/guideline recommends 4 drug therapy for initial 2 months and 2/3 drugs later for minimum 4 months depending on the organ involved.
also the dose depends on weight.
kindly consult a Chest Physician as early as possible..
