Dear sir, I am suffering from Tuberculosis and doctor has tole me to take R-Cinex 300/600 empty stomach. Since last four months am taking this medicine empty stomach. Here I have two queries, first is I take the R-Cinex just before 5-10 min of food (Morning), Is it correct or false method because I have read in article today it should be taken before 1 hour of food. Second, in four month today is the first day when i forgot to take the medicine empty stomach and took it after food, Is this will harm me or it is worthless. Sir please suggest me, your directions and guidelines what should i do further. I will be thankful to you. I am looking forward your suggestions. Thanks Regards Santosh
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem.Ruined is having rifampicin and isoniazid. Both are essential for treatment of tuberculosis. The ideal way to take this is empty stomach. At least 1 hour before meals. But due to side effects like gastritis and vomiting, doctor prescribed it just before meals. But if you tolerate it on 1 hour empty stomach then take it 1 hour before meals. It will have the highest effect by this. And no need to worry if you take single dose after meals. It will not cause any trouble.
