Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

R Cinex (isoniazid and rifampin combination) and Pyzina (pyrazinamide) are medicines used for treating tuberculosis. So, the brain sopt in your scan was probably brain tuberculosis- TB, also called as tuberculoma.

Encorate chrono (sodium valproate) is used to treat fits or seizures, which can occur due to brain tuberculoma.

In Middle East also, treatments are similar to India.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
