I'm currently weighing 67 kg and have been on the AKT4 kit for about a month now, taking it every day. I recently went through the guidelines and noticed that the amounts of ethambutol and isoniazid I'm getting are lower than what's recommended for my weight. Specifically, it seems like my dose of ethambutol is 400 mg less and isoniazid is 300 mg less than what's suggested. Should I be worried about this affecting my treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in epididymitis?

It's important to follow the prescribed dosage for your condition, as the dosages in the AKT4 kit are typically based on standard treatment guidelines. Since your weight requires slightly higher doses of Ethambutol and Isoniazid, discuss this with your doctor to ensure the treatment is effective and adjusted for your needs.

I'm thinking about starting Manforce 200mg because it was recommended to me. I'm a bit worried about any possible side effects that I should be aware of. Also, what's the best time to take this medicine? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?

Manforce 200mg, which contains sildenafil, is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. Potential side effects include headaches, dizziness, and digestive issues. It's best taken on an empty stomach about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, as high-fat meals may delay its effectiveness. Always follow your doctor's advice for personalized guidance.
