Hello, The AKT-4 is one of anti-tubercular medicine. Your patient should take AKT 4 as advised in spite of any age if he is having bone tuberculosis. This should be continued for at least 12-18 months with gradual adjustment of doses and type of medicines. You should not worry there are good chances of recovery even in old patient if treatment is taken and supervision and in right manner. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
