Akurit Kid Tablet (Rifampicin 60mg / Isoniazid 30mg)

AKURIT KID TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called anti-tuberculosis drugs primarily used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs, but it can also spread to other body parts such as kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow.

AKURIT TABLET is a combination of two anti-tuberculosis drugs, namely: Rifampicin, and Isoniazid. Rifampicin works by inactivating a bacterial RNA-polymerase) an enzyme that allows TB bacteria to make and replicate essential proteins. Isoniazid prevents the creation of its own protective coating by these bacteria. Together, they destroy the bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB (tuberculosis)., and the infection is eliminated.

Take AKURIT KID TABLET 30minutes before food or 2hours after food. Swallow AKURIT TABLET as a whole; do not crush or chew the tablet. Take AKURIT TABLET daily at the same time to ensure better efficacy. The dose and duration of AKURIT KID TABLET can vary depending upon your condition and severity of the infection. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, , weakness, muscle pain, heartburn, diarrhoea, gas, and numbness or tingling sensation. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
