HI. It looks that your friend is a diagnosed case of abdominal tuberculosis. Since the dose of AKT3 or AKT4 is causing pain in abdomen, it is possible that a particular medicine in this combination. I usually advise my patient to take the Rifampicine, Isoniazid, Ethambutol and Pyrizinamide in a separate preparation at different timings, Rifampicine to be taken on empty stomach. Once all the ingredients are taken at different times, it becomes easy to know which medicines are causing the problems, and we can stop that particular component. If required that particular medicines is stopped and Streptomycin injection and / or Levofloaxacin. You're treating Doctor knows the best. I hope this will solve the problem and ATT has to be continues in whichever form it suits. He has to take 2 + 4 months treatment. High protein diet. Multivitamins,
