Q. What is the correct dosage and duration for taking Akurit 4 and Akurit 3 for my bone TB?

Hello doctor,

I was suffering from hip pain for the last nine months. I did an MRI five months ago, and it showed mild synovial in my hip. The doctor suspected bone TB and prescribed me medications for it. I took MRI for four months and reported an MRI. The reports were normal.

I took tablet Akurit 4 for two months, and now, I am taking Akurit 3 for three months. Currently, I am taking four tablets of Akurit 3 in the morning before breakfast and half a tablet of Benadon 40 at night after dinner. The hip pain is now reduced by 50% but not completely cured. I still get pain while walking or climbing a staircase.

I had pulmonary tuberculosis three years ago and was under medication for six months to get cured. I consulted a doctor yesterday, and he said that tablet Akurit 4 is alone sufficient for bone TB and suggested me switch to Akurit 4 for the remaining seven months.

My queries are as follows;

1) What should be the duration of Akurit 4 and Akurit 3 in bone TB treatment?

2) Is there any problem if I take Akurit 3?

3) Should I start taking Akurit 4 again as suggested?

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

I did ESR and CRP test while starting the treatment. I have attached the blood test reports for your reference. These are some follow-up queries in this regard.

1) Whether ESR and CRP tests necessary?

2) Is it confirmed as bone TB from the MRI?

3) Whether the current dosage of Akurit 4 is suitable?

4) How long will it take for the pain to disappear in the hip joint?

5) How long should I take tablet Akurit 3?

Thank you.
