Mycobutol 1000mg od 4. Benedon 20mg od the above medicines were taken for 1 month starting from 28th jan 2015. After that, mother got tested for lft report on 25th feb 2015 and found that three values? sgot, sgpt and gamma gt were deranged. Doctor immediately discontinued rcinex and pzide medicines and advised the following as per prescription dated 25 feb 2015. 1. Levoflox 750mg od 2. Mycobutol 1000mg od 3. Liv 52 twice daily so we got her tested for lft again after 10 days and found that these values sgot, sgpt are back in range so rcinex 450 mg (bbf) was again started by the doctor. Since 16th march 2015, patient is taking all the four medicines (rcinex 450 mg, levoflox 750mg, mycobutol 1000mg, liv 52 ) my mother is unable to move and has severe back pain. Pain has also extended to legs. It is very difficult for the patient to remain without taking painkillers. She also has fever from the last 15 days ranging from 99 f to 100. 4 f. Is the ongoing treatment fine? and what pain killer can we give it to her so that she is relieved from the pain and without having any side effect of the medicine.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. You mother' s case is complex as in to answer from a remote location. Normally you would need to examine patient clinically to see the neurological status, and correlate it with mri of involved region of spine. So if you can send me x rays and latest mri of dorso-lumbar spine alongwith latest neurological examination done by a good therapist, then I may be able to advise you on it. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards Dr Akshay Kumar SaxenaÂ
