Hello
How are you?
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your concern is valid. Your clinician must have informed to you after starting akt 4 for abdomen TB. akt 4 contains rifampicin drug. After taking it urine becomes reddish. But should not be worried. It's normal after having it. When you will stop it, problem will recover automatically. Just take regular medicines and do regular follow ups.

Take care
