Hi,

Based on the history and the results of lab tests you seem to be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis while on anti-tuberculosis medications.

Lefno 20 is commonly prescribed in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis as it helps in slowing down the progression of the disease and provide relief from pain, swelling, and redness. Continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
