In Treatment of Tuberculosis (TB) Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs but can affect other parts of the body as well. Akurit-3 Tablet helps treat tuberculosis by stopping the growth of bacteria causing infection. Your symptoms might improve after using Akurit-3 Tablet. However, make sure to complete the full course of treatment. This will ensure that the infection is completely cured and prevent it from returning.

Akurit-3 Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol, which treats tuberculosis. Rifampicin works by inactivating a bacterial enzyme (RNA-polymerase) which is required by TB bacteria to make essential proteins and to reproduce, while isoniazid prevents these bacteria from forming their own protective covering. Together, they kill the bacteria and eradicate the infection. Ethambutol, on the other hand works by slowing the growth of these bacteria.

If you miss a dose of Akurit-3 Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
