What Is The Treatment For Lung TB?
My wife , 61 years old, is being treated for TB . She had lung TB at the age of 15 which was treated then. Now it is supspected that Tb has come in the bone joints of both feet. This causes pain, inflammation and pigmentation. After two months of AKT 4 and 2months of AKT 3, doctor asked her to take AKT 2 for two more months alongwith vitamins. My query -- AKT 4 is to be taken on empty stomach or after food.? Second doctor suggests a combination drug Worex 2 or Cx-3 in place of AKT 2 . Chemists dont seem to know these drugs. please advise.

Hello
Akt-4 is supposed to take on empty stomach but it will cause gastritis so better to have some drugs to prevent gastritis,
You can take AKT-2 instead, no issues.
