I'm a bit worried about my mom's medication after she was discharged from the hospital. She's been prescribed Duolin 2.5 ml TDS and Flohale 2.5 ml BD for nebulization. I'm not sure if I should be mixing them together for her treatment, or if they need to be nebulized separately. Can you help clarify this for me?

Duolin and Flohale should be given separately when nebulizing. Duolin is usually taken three times a day (TDS), while Flohale is taken twice a day (BDS). Ensure theres a gap of at least 10 minutes between the two medications to avoid any interaction. Always follow your doctors advice for the best results.

I'm really worried about my TB treatment. My first doctor prescribed AKT4, but I found out it might be less than what's needed for my weight, which is 67kg. So I talked to another pulmonologist who recommended I switch to DOTS and do the full 6-month course. I've already taken AKT4 for a month before switching. I'm just concerneddid the switch affect my treatment at all? Should I be tested for multi-drug resistant TB?

no it will not effect . continue the same treatment
