Hello Manoj,
The rifamipicin component of akt 2 can cause what we call flu like syndrome , which will have all symptoms you describe. However it is self limiting and a simple paracetamol may be taken for symptomatic relief .
If the symptoms persists do visit your doctors as the akt medication can cause wide variety of symptoms and it becomes important to examine .
A liver test may be considered as all of the components may increase liver enzymes.
Hopefully I could help .
