Is it safe to take AKT 3 during pregnancy?
Patient: Hi i have TB Gold positive result i have completed AKT 4 for 4 Months and my gynaecologist suggested me AKT 3 for 2 months now i complted Akt 3 for one month, My MC date 18th Feb but i didn t found HCG pregnancy test possitive, is it safe to take AKT 3 during pregnancy, is there any side effects Doctor: Hi,   Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. AKT kit is  a three pronged weapon to combat TB. There are no specific side effects of the drug on pregnancy/ fetus  though routine side effects like jaundice/ allergic problems/ neuralgic side effects remain.. but you already had been on the kit for last 5 months & did not have any side effect.. so be relaxed,& follow your doctor's advise & get rid of TB the earliest.   It's already 2 months after your last menses & home pregnancy test would have been + ve by now... provided you had regular menstruation.  - I would advise for detaining pregnancy ( in case it's not there at present )complete the course/ get your general condition improved & plan for a baby later on.   - If pregnancy is +ve at present, carry on. Continue with anti TB drugs as advised/ take routine pregnancy check ups with nutritious diet, sufficient iron, protein & vitamin supplements & ideal pregnancy life style.    Thanks.
