Hello,

Needs proper anti-tuberculosis treatment. The combipack of AKT-4 contains four antitubercular drugs (one capsule of Rifampicin, two tablets of Pyrazinamide and one tablet of Ethambutol plus Isoniazid (INH) ) and it should be taken as follows:
1. Rifampicin capsule should be taken empty stomach and the rest of the tablets together after breakfast every day.
2. Swallow the whole medication with a glass of water and to take it at a fixed time every day.
3. Please follow the treatment for the duration (six months) as advised by your doctor.
4. Avoid taking tyramine-rich foods such as cheese, smoked fish, meats and some types of beer.


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

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
