Hi,

Noted your history of taking treatment for Tuberculosis with R-Cinex 600, Combutol 1000 and Pyzina 1500, all before breakfast, wants to know whether this is the correct way and cause of pain in urination that is red.
yes, the treatment is proper and looks to be given as per your body weight.
The cause of painful urination may be UTI that is urinary tract infection and needs lab tests of Urine: routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity, tests of blood for CBC that will tell about status of White cell count whether raised or not and also will tell which additional antibiotic may be needed if there is UTI.
The cause of red urine is usually the medicine called Rifampicin which is given in the combination of R-Cinex, also can be due to stone in urinary tract causing bleeding. The urine test and an Ultrasonography of abdomen will help to differentiate and treated accordingly.
Only Rifampicin and in your case R-Cinex has to be taken on empty stomach, rest of the medicines are taken after food.
Also take multivitamins, mineral and trace elements and particularly Vitamin B-6 to avoid side effects of Combutol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
