Hi,

AKT-4 kit contains 4 anti-tuberculosis drug ethambutol, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin. AKT-3 kit contains 3 anti-tuberculosis drugs ethambutol, isoniazid and rifampicin.

Side effects:
Ethambutol: color vision problem
Isoniazide: jaundice, peripheral neuropathy
Pyrazinamide: jaundice, hyperuricemia
Rifampicin: jaundice, flu-like syndrome, rashes, decreased platelet count, orange colored urine.

However, the drugs are mostly well tolerated and to be taken with Vit B6 (Pyridoxine 40 mg) daily.

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

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
