I'm having trouble finding the anti-TB medicine I got from the government hospital at the local pharmacy. It has Rifampicin 150mg, Isoniazid 75mg, Pyrazinamide 400mg, and Ethambutol Hydrochloride 275mg. Can you recommend any alternative names for this medication? I'm a bit concerned and could use some guidance.

You can try asking your doctor or pharmacist for an alternative brand with the same composition of Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol. Some common alternatives include Rifagut, Rifinah, or 4-FDC, but its important to get a recommendation based on your specific treatment needs.

I'm a civil engineer and often travel to places where the air isn't too clean. Every time I do this, I end up with difficulty breathing through my nose the next day, although I can breathe fine through my mouth. My local doctor gave me this tab called Ebasil, and it works great, but the symptoms come back as soon as I stop taking it. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to deal with this?

Wear mask and avoid dust

Is it possible for someone to just stop breathing all of a sudden without any warning? Would that lead to death, and is there any way to prevent this from happening?

you will have difficulty in breathing

I'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.

take cough syrup , and avoid cold as much as she can
