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 really concerned about my dad. His oxygen levels are consistently around 94 or 93, and he's taking medication for high blood pressure. Also, he has a very large stomach. Could this be affecting his oxygen levels? What should we do about it?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

I'm dealing with some pretty nasty seasonal bronchitis it's like I can't catch my breath, my chest feels heavy, and there's this annoying wheezing sound. They did an asthma test and said I don't have it, but the doctor gave me doxycycline 400mg and montelukast. Thing is, it's not really helping. What else can I try?

start ciprofloxacin for 5days
