Hi Doctor, My mom is suffering from Bone TB and she is taking AKT2 Medicine. She is taking this medicine from last 3 months. But after taking the medicine she is felling very much nausea. Please help me because due to that she is unable to take any food
Hi, The common side effects of anti-tuberculosis medication AKT-2 include nausea / vomiting, stomach upset, heartburn, harmless orange discoloration of urine, saliva, or tears, and numbness / tingling of arms / legs. It may also cause liver dysfunction. Her nausea can be prevented by giving anti-emetics like risperidone either as needed or on a daily standing basis 30 minutes before taking AKT-2). Proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole omeprazole can also provide relief. Besides, other causes of persistent nausea such as liver dysfunction should be ruled out by her doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
