General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Herperax contains acyclovir and is used for treatment herpes zoster (shingles). AKURIT-4 contains rifampicin isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. It is used for treatment of active tuberculosis (TB).
Are you suffering from herpes zoster and TB??
Are you having rashes???
It seems so from medicines which you are taking. Confirm from your doctor about this because these medicines are not used for treatment of headache. Headache can occur as complication of herpes zoster and meningitis due to TB.
You are taking 5 drugs and all have different side effects. First you need to confirm whether you should continue or discontinue these drugs.
Advice
1.     Consult your doctor for clarification of diagnosis because patient has right to known about his suffering. You can take second opinion from a different doctor because diagnosis needs to be confirmed as tuberculous meningitis is a serious condition
2.     Do not stop medicines abruptly unless suggested by your doctor
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
