Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my father is 70 years old and has TB..the doctor has precribed Akurit 4, 3 tablets per day..his weight was about 50 kgs and has now increased to 53 kg in last 45 days of taking medicine. My confusion is that a couple of other doctors have suggested that the right dosage is 4 tabs. Pl advice.
hi , Dose of isoniazide is 5mg / kg ie 300mg , rifampicin 10 mg/ kg ie 600mg , pyrazinamide 25 mg/kg ie 1500mg n ethambutol 15 mg/kg ie 1000 mg So in my opinion 4 tab of akurit 4 will be appropriate dose for your father .
