Akurit 4 Tablet (Isoniazid 75mg / Rifampicin 150mg / Ethambutol 275mg / Pyrazinamide 400mg)

Akurit4 KIT 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. Akurit4 KIT TABLET does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Akurit4 KIT TABLET is a combination of four anti-tuberculosis drugs, namely: Rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Isoniazid works by preventing the TB bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) from forming their own protective covering, while rifampicin inactivates a bacterial enzyme (RNA-polymerase) which is required by TB bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) to make essential proteins and to reproduce. On the other hand Ethambutol and pyrazinamide work by slowing the growth of these bacteria. Altogether, they kill the bacteria and eradicate the infection.

Take Akurit4 KIT TABLET 30minutes before food or 2hours after food. Swallow AKURIT 4 KIT TABLET as a whole; do not crush or chew the tablet. Take AKURIT 4 KIT TABLET daily at the same time to ensure better efficacy. The dose and duration of AKURIT 4 KIT TABLET can vary depending upon your condition and severity of the infection.
