Hi there could you please help me with some information on tablets i am taking for tb of the uterus. My medicine is called AKT-3 and I would like to know whether or not it contains rifampcic, isoniazid and pyrazinamide. the first two are written on the label but the third isnt is it possible that may be due to the lack of space or is the ingredient not in there? Thank you

Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

AKT-3 KIT contains Rifampicin, isoniazid and ETHAMBUTOL (not pyrazinamide). The third one is Ethambutol and it should be written either on the label or in the ingredients section. AKT-3 KIT always has three drugs in it, so it is present without doubt, but may be not mentioned on the cover or label. It should and will be there.

For your information, AKT-3 is usually in the combination I have mentioned, whereas AKT-4 KIT is these three medications plus pyrazinamide.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
