Am a diabetics and Ive been diagnosed with TB.  the doctor prescibed me to take AKUIRT 4, 4 Tablets of Akurit 4 and 1 tablet of B12 daily for 2 months until my next visit to the doctor.  My experience taking Akurit 4 for the last 14 days has caused me the following: 1) Itchiness; 2) dizziness at times; 3) my sugar level pushes up.  Pl help to explain; eg, is taking Akurit 4 causes sugar level to go up? . TQ
Itching and dizziness is indeed a side effect of antitubercular therapy you are taking, but it does not cause any effect directly on the blood sugar level. Pyrazinamide and isoniazid do cause hepatitis, so half life is prolonged in hepatic impairment and can have effect on the antidiabetics you are taking. So kindly consult your physician regarding any Chat Doctor.
