Hi,

AKT-4 consists of four anti-TB medications, isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. Blurring of vision appears to be due ethambutol content of AKT-4. I advise you consult your treating doctor for an alternate effective but a safer combination for the treatment of tuberculosis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
