Akurit 4 Tablet

Akurit 4 Tablet is a prescription medicine designed for the treatment of tuberculosis. It contains four active ingredients that work together to stop the spread and growth of bacteria responsible for TB, helping the body to clear the infection.

How to Take
This medicine should always be taken exactly as recommended by your doctor. It works best when consumed on an empty stomach at the same time each day. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water, without chewing or breaking it. Skipping doses or stopping the medicine too early may reduce its effectiveness and increase the risk of resistance. Even if you begin to feel better, completing the entire course is important for proper recovery.

Therapeutic Benefits
Akurit 4 Tablet is used in the management of tuberculosis, a disease that mainly affects the lungs but can also damage other organs. By combining four different medicines, it helps kill the bacteria and reduces the chance of relapse when taken regularly under medical supervision.

Likely Side Effects
Some people may notice mild effects such as nausea, vomiting, rash, joint pain, abdominal discomfort, or tiredness. It may also cause changes in platelet levels, skin reactions, nerve-related problems like tingling or numbness in hands and feet, and vision-related concerns. In rare cases, it can affect the liver. Most of these issues are temporary, but if they worsen or new symptoms appear, medical advice should be sought promptly. Staying well hydrated and eating healthy food may help in easing minor effects.

How it Works
The medicine contains four different components that work together against TB bacteria. They stop the bacteria from growing and forming protective walls, while also killing them directly. This combined action ensures effective treatment.

Precautions and Warnings
Alcohol should be avoided during the course as it may cause unwanted reactions and put extra strain on the liver. Patients with liver or kidney disorders need close monitoring and possible dose adjustments. Pregnant women should take this medicine only if the doctor finds it necessary after assessing risks and benefits. It is generally considered safe for use while breastfeeding. Some people may experience dizziness, nerve problems, or eyesight changes, so driving or operating machinery should be avoided if these occur. Regular blood, liver, and kidney tests are often recommended during therapy.

Extra Guidance
Take enough rest, follow a balanced diet, and keep up with regular checkups while on treatment. Foods rich in tyramine such as aged cheese, smoked fish, or certain beers should be avoided as they may interact with the medicine. This medicine can also cause reddish or orange discoloration of urine, sweat, saliva, or tears—this is harmless but expected. Since it may reduce vitamin B6 levels, your doctor might prescribe a supplement to protect against nerve-related side effects. Women taking hormonal contraceptives should use an additional method of protection as Akurit 4 can reduce their effectiveness.

Missed Dose
If you forget to take a dose, have it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and return to your regular schedule. Doubling the dose should be avoided.
