If you come to my clinic with this problemi also give you same medicine .
As for doses this is right dose because in AKURIT 4 this is consist of four drugs (Rifampicin+Isoniazide+ethambutol+pyrazinamide).
In this rifampicin is most important drug and dose of this kit calculate according to rifampicin dose.As your wt is 80 kg. and dose of Rifampcin is 10kg per body weight per dose not more than 600 mg per day.
So you getting max dose per day i.e 600mg (150*4).
So your dose is correct and please continue your treatment do not lapse medicine .
Hope for Best health for you.
