Question (Posted on : 20 Jan 2008 )

I was suffered from pulmonary water problem in 1999 and I was treat by TB medicine for about 9 month, but recently doctor told me ur suffering from Tuberculosis and given me Forcox 2.5 tables per day (I am taking all table at morning hours empty stomach from last 6 days), but after taking medicine I am suffering from dourness. I am taking Anta acid B complex along with TB drugs. Plz advise can I divide the recomende 2.5 tables in tow doses from morning and evening. My weight is 72 kg.

Doctor's Response (Posted on : 20 Jan 2008 )

Forecox contains four drugs for TB : Rifampicin, INH, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. You should not split the dose because it will decrease the amount of drug reaching the diseased areas with TB, and this may cause resistance to drugs and will further complicate your condition.
