What is Akurit-3 Tablet?

Akurit-3 is a combination medicine used to treat tuberculosis (TB). It works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause the infection.

How to Take It?

• Take on an empty stomach, as prescribed by your doctor.

• Swallow the tablet whole—do not chew, crush, or break it.

• Take at the same time daily for best results.

• Complete the full course even if you feel better. Stopping early can make the infection harder to treat.

What If I Miss a Dose?

• If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember.

• If it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.

Side Effects

Common side effects (usually mild and temporary):

• Nausea, vomiting, fever

• Dark-colored urine, sweating

• Increased saliva, watery eyes

• Rash, joint pain (gout), tingling in hands/feet

Serious side effects (seek medical help immediately):

• Yellow skin/eyes (jaundice)

• Vision problems, severe dizziness

• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty)

Precautions & Warnings

• Avoid alcohol—can cause severe reactions (flushing, nausea, low BP).

Dietary Restrictions

• Avoid tyramine-rich foods (aged cheese, smoked fish, processed meats, some beers) to prevent side effects.

Lifestyle Tips

Why Complete the Full Course?

TB treatment requires long-term medication (usually 6+ months). Skipping doses or stopping early can lead to drug-resistant TB, which is harder to treat.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions! If you have concerns about side effects or dosage, consult your healthcare provider.
