I've just started taking Fixcom 4 for my PTB, and I'm really confused about how to take it. Am I supposed to take all 3 tablets in the morning, or should it be 3 times a day? Right now, I've just been taking one tablet because I'm not sure about the dosage. Could you help me understand how I should be taking this medication?
For the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) with Fixcom 4, the usual recommended dosage is 3 tablets to be taken once daily. It is important to take all 3 tablets at the same time, rather than spreading them out throughout the day. Therefore, you should consume all 3 tablets of Fixcom 4 together in the morning. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and regimen for the effective treatment of PTB.

I've been having a cold and cough for the last ten days, and it's typical for me to have a cough for about two weeks. But this time, something unusual happened. In the mornings, when I cough and spit, there's a little blood mixed with the mucus or sputum. It started happening in the last two days, and it's freaking me out a bit. This morning, I even coughed on purpose to see if it would happen again, and it did. I don't smoke, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can you tell me what this might be and what I should do?
