Hello Doctors! My mom has 'low grade papillary urothelial carcinoma She Underwent TUTBT 3 time in last 7 years. The previous one was in January 2017, after which, 2 times cycstocopy (resulted NO RECURRENCE OF TUMOUR). She had 2 rounds of BCG. The second round was very troubling for her as she had irritation in the bladder all day long, plus increased frequency of urinating (Urge to pee every 20 mins day & night both). COnsidering this situation, the oncologist did hydrochloric dilution which had some good results (Frequency reduced to 1 hr) Right after getting this side effect of BCG, the doctor suggested to take AKT-3 (Medcn used to cure Tuberculosis). He suggested to continue it for 4 months. Now my question is whether taking AKT-3 involves any side effect? Or is is really true AKT-3 helps in reducing inflammation in the bladder? In short, whether she should continue taking AKT-3 or shall she stop it?
