Hello doc,I have been detected abdominal tuberculosis.My scans show fluids with fibres in my stomach as a result I have lost heavy weight.for past 1 month I have been on drugs Rifampicin, ethambutol,Isoniazid and Pyrazinamide but still i have not gained weight but my appetite is good ,pains are their in the stomach when i cough .One more thing is that the doc at hospital suggested Akurit-3 for this.which is the best medicine,how long will it take for me to gain weight and why do these pains come?
Hi. Ideally with the four medicines - namely Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid and Pyrizinamide you are taking should have increased your weight. If the weight is not improved in spite of improved appetite there are chances of the following not allowing you to gain weight
