My mom (51 years) detected with skin tb. She has completed her intensive phase without any issue. But as soon as she started akt 3 (rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol) she started vomiting. This is her 4 month running. She vomits everyday. Can she stop the medicine?

Hello, akt once started needs to be continued for 6 to 9 months. You could do a liver function test blood test just so as to see if akt has caused any hepatic disfunction which is a known side effect of akt and make sure she takes the tablets in 10 min interval. U can try to take the tabelts 2 hour after food if she has been taking it empty stomach. Hope this helps.
