3 Important Things You Need To Know About Primary Complex (and other treatment tips)

My kids was tested positive of primary complex last April 2009. And after 6 months of drinking Primary complex  HRZ kit aka  Blood, Urine and Vomit they are clear of TB.


See? It does look like Blood, Urine and Vomit. But my sister who loves food better than me says it’s mayonnaise, vinegar and ketchup.

Here are the 3 things you need to know when battling Primary Complex:

  • Primary Complex is not contagious. Don’t ever make your kids feel that what they have is something to be embarrassed about. Based on my readings and from my pedia, Primary Complex is now common here in the country. It’s not as scary as it used to be ten years ago and it can be easily cured.
  • Primary Complex is a from of Tuberculosis on kids. They got it from an adult. When an adult suffering from Tuberculosis made contact to a kid through cough and sneeze, the mycrobacteria M. tuberculosis is transferred to the kid.
  • Primary Complex is a 6 month long treatment. Not lesser. You need to make sure that you give the meds everyday religiously for 6 months. If not, the bacteria will just evolve and will develop into a more med resistant kind.

When treating Primary Complex, here are some tips that may come in handy:

  • During the first 4 months, your kids need to take in 3 types of medicines (photo above). On the 5th and 6th month based on the advise of your pedia, the meds may be lessen to two kinds.
  • It is best to give them meds on the morning, 30 minutes before eating but you can also give it during lunch time (just make sure that you give it 30 minutes before meal time). Also take note of the time you give the meds, it should be the same time all through out the treatment period.
  • The three meds have different consistencies. If your kids are a bit hard when it comes to medicine, you should give them the pink med first as this is the most ill tasted. This is done so that whenever the kid refused to swallow it up or throw it up, they hadn’t taken in the other meds yet. Give the yellowish next and give the red one last. The red one is the most difficult to swallow, hence they will need a lot of water to consume it. You should give it to them last because they would be full from drinking water to help them swallow the red one.
  • Stick to the meds your doctor gave you. I tried buying the cheaper kit but it turns out that though I save on money, my kids did not like the taste of the cheaper kind. The photo above is the set from Unilab. Trust them to be child’s tongue friendly (TasteRite™ technology).
  • If you child gains weight easily, you might wanna consult your pedia every month for the dosage as it’s effectiveness rely on the weight of the kid.

How much is Primary Complex Treatment?
In order for you to know if your kid is suffering from Primary Complex, they will have to undergo two kinds of test, XRAY and PPD (purified protein derivative) or tuberculin skin test.

XRAY test can vary from 300 Philippine Pesos to more than 1K depending on your hospital. In some hospitals, this is shouldered by your HMO, in some it is not.

PPD or Tuberculin Skin test ranges from 600 Pesos to more than 1k, again, depending on your provider and this is NOT shouldered by HMO.

The HRZ Kit (Isoniazid + Rifampicin + Pyrazinamide) from Unilab was less than 500 the last time I bought, so that was last year. A kid can consume 1 to 2 (or 1 to 2 big HRZ kit) bottle a month depending on his weight. It is best to buy it in pack (HRZ kit) as you can save a lot than buying the medicine per bottle. Trust me, I have been there, spend time computing it to see where I can save more. (I will try to update this when I got the prize of each meds).

Rimafed or the red one will be consumed more than the other two. Rimafed is given in more ml than the other two that is why.

The total amount of Peso you will have to spend when treating Primary Complex (if you have a kid that is less than 15 kilos) is around (cost of xray and ppd not included) 5000 Pesos.

  3. hello, this is really informative. thanks for creating such stuff. my 7 years old son is suffering from PC, next month is his last month of medication, my question is after the 6 months medication whats next? of course the pedia will say you need to buy this and take that test for you son. for her extra income…do my son need to take chest xray again? what do you do after the 6 months medication of your children? please help…thanks.god bless.

    Reply

    • after 6 months of medication, the pedia will ask your child to be submitted to another skin test and from here the pedia will take action 🙂 if the test is negative, the treatment is finish 🙂

      Reply

        • No prob Edz 🙂 it’s quite scary and hard at first.. my tip is, specially on giving him his meds.. always an extra ml or two.. doon kase ako nagkamali before.. I put the exact amount on the cup/spoon and then pag hindi nainom ng tama feeling ko kulang ung dosage so I will put some more or will tell them to finish and usually ends up in a battle.. so better, when the med needs 5ml, put a little over 5ml.. this works specially with the red med.. thick talaga ung consistency nya kaya hindi masisimot ng bata 🙂

          I hope your son will be out of TB after 6 months.

  4. my 1 yr old boy is required to take ppd i wasnt able to ask how much would it cause is it much? im afraid after researching for pc that my child have the symptoms

  6. my child was positive of pc. its our 1st month on treatment,what happens f after 6 months she still haS IT? IT IS REALLY CURED AFTER 6 MONTHS?

    Reply

    • based on our experience and some of my readings, if the medicines was given properly.. meaning the right dosage and no missed date, the child will be cured after 6 months.. but it is still a case to case basis.. you should also know that even if the kid is under medication if the source of the TB virus is not treated, it may reoccur. If you suspect that your child got it from someone in your house, make sure that the source is treated too 🙂

  7. thanx for this info…really appreciated ms.pepot…especially this time that my 5yr.old son is suffering in pc…im just wondering….the medicine that given by the doctor is not same with the medicine you mentioned…we are given…clarithromycin to be taken once,,and immuzinc taken before bedtime…..is this enough?

  8. Hi Ms. Pehpot,

    Like other moms whose child is also suffering from PC, i also got very scared. My child is her first day of taking the 3 meds today from Natrapharm this morning. As per reading your column, meds must be taken with a empty stomach. What I did is I gave her milk first then the 3 meds, is this okay? I’ll appreciate your suggestion.

    • from my pedia, he says na dapat an 30 min before a meal.. but if in case napakain mo na.. if I remember it right, palipas ka ng one hour before mo painumin ng gamot 🙂

  9. hi po ask ko lang po yung anak ko po kasi may kulani and after 6 months treatment his doctor said na need pa nya mag take ng medicine ng 3months pa.. So 9 months na treatment nya nag wo worry na po ako na baka masobrahan na sya sa gamot? until now po kasi may kulani pa din siya but he already gain naman na.. please advise.. thanks

    • if the doctor said na he still needs to take med, go give him pa.. it means hindi pa completely tanngal ung primary nya 🙂

  15. hello, my daughter is only 3yrs old she now positive in PC,one month pa lang sya nag t-take ng medicine pero nagkakaubo at sipon parin sya on Feb.16 is her first monthly check up, masama ba ung magka ubo while having PC because the pulmo says “pag nagka ubo xray agad” but i didnt take her an xray rather i bought her fruits everyday. hope you respoce soon. thank you.

    Reply

    • as far as I know, hindi naman sya masama, but of course the pedia is the best person to ask.. you just to observe your baby, pag nilagnat sya while having coughs, bring her to her pedia agad, kase for sure may infection yan (aside from PC)..

      Reply

  16. Hi.. Yung baby ko din positive sa PC, 2 years old palang, hindi pa kami nag start sa mga med nia kasi may thypoid fever pa sha.. Kaso yung sa baby ko 1year daw na gamutan yun PC nia, bakit kaya 1yr yung sakanya? Pde bang pag nag 6months magaling na? Or 1yr talaga? Tnx..

    Reply

    • as much as I want to help you by providing info regarding that, I really have no idea kung bakit 1 year.. maybe because of the typhoid..

  17. my niece just had an xray and it says that she has a ptb bilateral.does this mean that lahat nrin kami infected?omg!so if ever apat na kaming into medications including my 2 sons?ang saya,magastos itooooo!!!!!!huhuhu!

    • I think she stills needs to undergo skin test (ppd) tapos pag nag postive sya dun, lahat ng tao sa bahay na kasama sya, specially aduls need ng xray, para malaman kung kanino galing ang TB (primary complex)..pa check mo na din ung 2 sons para sure 🙂

  19. Ms. Phepot, kung ang isang bata ay under medication pa rin for PC, would it be infectious pa rin ba sya sa ibang bata???
    thanks,

  20. first of all, thank you for this article, i think this is very helpful for parents like me who wants to know about pc. May question ako, ano po ang diff. ng pneumonia sa pc? nakalagay kasi sa results ng xray ng son ko parang “consider pneumonia”, prior to that my 5-yr-old son had fever every night (for 3 nights) pero whole day wala and masigla at magana naman kumain, nagpacheck up kami sa doc nya and suspected na pc nga and asked us to have xray and blood test results kaya yun, we’re bringing the results later to our doc. traumatizing talaga for every parent, he started school last year, ever since, naging sakitin na sya, is it possible he got it from a classmate? or from adults lang talaga? thanks

    Reply

    • sa adult lang po talaga sya nakukuha, PC is not contagious.. nakaka trauma talaga sa ating mga magulang and you start questioning yourself kung saan ka nagkamali bilang magulang, but no worries nagagamot naman sya 🙂

  21. Good eve ms.pehpot. May pc po kasi ang 2 kids ko, 3yrs and 1yr. Old. Nadiagnosed sila this feb lang. Ask ko lang, ok lang ba na paiba-iba ang oras ng pag-inom nila ng gamot sa umaga? Madalas kasi paiba-iba ang oras ng pagising nila…pakireply po. Thank you. . .

    • according sa pedia namin basta right after gumising at wala pang laman ung sikmura (for easy absorption) so OK lang siguro kahit paiba iba ung oras basta pag kagising nila.. but as mush as possible try to be more consistent about it 🙂

  22. Gud eve po uli ms. Pehpot. Ask po ako uli kung tama po ba ang dosage na 2.5ml sa 9.7kilos na 11months old ? Yun po kasi ing binigay na dosage ng pedia nya sa kanya. . .

        • sabi ng pedia namin and acoording na rin sa mga nabasa ko… hindi po nakakahawa ang Primary Complex. ang bata nagkaka primary complex pag nahawa sila sa matanda na may TB.. ang primary complex po kase ay form ng TB sa mga bata..
          pero ang isang bata na may PC, hindi po sya nakakahawa..

          kung iniisip mo na nahawa ung anak mo pamangkin mo.. maari na ung adult na nagbigay ng PC sa pamangkin mo eh sya din ang nagbigay ng PC sa anak mo..

      ang naging advise sa amin is ung 2 gamot sa morning.. tapos ung Zinaplex eh sa gabi na.. sabi kase ng pedia, since ung Zinaplex eh 2 months lang naman, so sa gabi na sya para pag natapos na sya after two months hindi malilito ung tiga painom ng gamot.

    • hindi po sya nakakahawa pero you need to make sure kung saan nanggaling un.. kaya need pa check up ng lahat ng member ng household, kase po kahit magaling na sa baby pero may kasama sa bahay na may TB at hindi nagamot, babalik at babalik ung sakit ni baby. ung TB or primary complex po ay hindi talaga nakakahawa

  66. hi, my daughter has Primary Complex and she is 1year and 2months when we found out. she is taking the meds almost 2months already. i wake her up 5AM everyday to give the Yellowish one. and after 30minutes i give the Red one. then i am feeding her after 1hour i gave the red one. after one hour i give the Orange one. and i was advised by her pedia not to feed her 1hour after giving the last med. the good thing is my daughter is a very cooperative one when it comes to giving her meds and she never throws up. my concern is, sometimes before giving the first dose, i can‘t refuse to breast feed her because she cries a lot, do you think it‘s alright?

  67. Hi,

    My daughter was diagnosed with primary six months ago and treatment is almost over but until now there is no improvement in her weight gain, actually there is still no weight gain. Any comment on that?
    Thanks!

    • Hello Ivy, though weight gain is a big factor on Primary Complex, please do take note of other signs such as better health, more energy and better sleep 🙂 but still, only your pedia can tell if she is already cleared from PC

  68. Hi Mommy Pehpot,

    First time ko magbasa ng mga comment dito sa page mo… Isa rin kasi ang baby ko na na-diagnose na merong PC.. PPD nya kasi nag-positive, kaya ayun kelangang mag-medication, nag-start xa ngayon and ang sabi ng pedia nya ” 2 sa umaga ung isoniazid and rifampicin tig 1.5ml before breakfast, then after lunch and after dinner ung Pyrazinamide tig 0.8ml naman. ok lang po yun? nabasa ko kasi iba rin ung direction ng ibang doctor.

    Thanks,

      • Hi Mommy pehpot. We just got the result from our daughter’s pedia. Our 18 month old has a Primary Complex. Both me & my wife are sooooo down as of this writing. Actually, I’m working overseas so my wife is the only one taking care of our daughter (w/ our relatives). I’m so worried with the treatment because super baby pa ang anak ko. Kayanin kaya ng young liver nya ung meds? In tablet/capsule form ba ung 3 meds? My wife will also undergo x ray sana negative kasi paano naman, who will take care our baby.

        Hope to hear from you soon. I’m worried as hell!

        Thanks

        • Totoo po, masakit talaga malaman na may PC ang anak natin.. parang gusto mong sumigaw ng “saan? saan ako nagkulang?” di ba?
          Pero wag po tayong masyado mag- alala dahil ang PC ay madaling gamutin. Kakayanin po ng liver nya ang gamot, and pedia po ang bahala na magbigay ng dosage na ayon sa edad at timbang nya..
          Usually ang gamot po ay liquid form. Kung sakali po na meron ang wife nyo, wag din po kayo masyado mag alala dahil ung mga napapanood natin sa TV na klase ng TB ang sobrang lala na nun. Kung sakaling mag positive si wife nyo, gamot lang po ang kailangan diyan. Ang alam ko po basta nagsimula na uminom ng gamot ang taong may TB ay hindi na ito nakakahawa.

          Wag po tayong masyado mag alala basta ang importante po ay maibigay ng maayos ang gamot at makumpleto ang anim or siyam na buwan na gamutan.

          • Hi MP,

            Possible po na 9 months ang treatment? Actually, wala pa po ako complete details as my daughter needs to stay in the hospital for another 7 days due to pneumonia.

            Treat muna ni dra ung pneumonia before magstart ng PC treatment. My god! Pati asthma meron na din ang baby ko. Daig ko pa ang nabundol nung malaman ko ung mga test results nya. Sobra pala naghihirap ang baby namin. Hate to be sound corny but that’s the nearest feeling I felt when I’ve heard the news. As I’ve never expect it.

            I also read from the net na medyo avoid crowded places muna.. tama po ba? During treatment po ba nung baby nyo, when is the ideal timing of visiting your baby’s pedia – for the regular consultation? Sometimes kc Hindi din kau maasikaso nga pedia kc meron din sila iba patient s which for me is truly understandable. Kaya kami na Lang din ang maga adjust nga konti.

            Maselan na nga ang anak ko… mas lalo pa sya seselan ngayon. Me & my wife just want her to be back in her normal self.

            Thanks for the immediate response madam.

            • Hello Mark,

              may mga cases na inaabot ng 9 months ang treatment. Pero I assure you, basta na treat ng maayos ang PC, gagaling sya.

              For pedia naman, based on our experience kase, kahit gaano kadami pasyente ni DOC, naasikaso nya kame. tip ko na lang, before going to the pedia, maglista na ng mga gustong itanong

              I will include your daughter in my prayers para bumilis ang pag galing nya. Be strong po

  73. Hi po! Il just ask, kase po yung anak ko ay may primary complex, bukas po last day of treatment nya. How would I know kung totally wala na syang pc? Next pa po kasi sya namin ipapatingin sa Pinas. Im worried kase na baka meron parin since hndi laging parehong time ang pagpapainom ko sa kanyan dhil dito sa saudi ibang oras ang paggising nya. Laging 12 noon or 1 pm. Then wala pang 30 mins kakain na sya. Ok lang po kaya yun?

I am thinking to have my mom tested for PC since siya lang ang kasama sa bahay ng kids ko most of the time. May yaya kami pero wala na po, so I am not sure saan nahawa yung bunso ko. Do you think I have to have the eldest tested as well for PC? Sa Saturday pa po ang consultation namen for the prescription ng meds eh, just wandering if you can advise.

  96. hi mommies i just want to get opinion from this site, my 5 year old son has PC last Aug. 22, 2015 after the ppd and x-ray result positive sya. And then ang pedia nag resita ng kids kit 3 but I heard na pwede sya ilapit sa dots dahil my philhealth din nman ako para libre na po ang gamot kahit dun na sa private pedia ang consultation every month. Naguguluhan nga lang ako kc yung pyrazinamide na binigay ng dots 250mg/5 ml tpos ang sa pedia ay 500mg/5ml same dosage lang po kya un kc iba ang dosage na binigay ng doktor sa dots at ng pedia. Pinabili pa kmi ng 1 gamot ung ethambutol which is based on my research not recommended for 13 years old below. I doubt tuloy kung continue po ba akong lalapit sa dots or hindi nlang. Ang iniisip ko kc para ang budget sa mga gamot na un maibili nalang ng gatas na hipp at mga vitamins nya kc kulang din po sa timbang.

    Reply

    • wala po akong experience sa dots eh.. so hindi ko ma i cocompare, sa nangyari lang sa akin, nag try ako bumili ng mas murang gamot, ang ending, hindi nila nagustuhan ung lasa kaya sinuka nila, naubos ang isang bote ng ganun na lang, kaya kahit medyo mahal ang JRZ kit ng Unilab, un na binili ko…

      pero kung ako po sa inyo, consult your pedia about that option, I am sure maiintindihan naman nya ung point mo

    • naku Mommy Grei, napag daanan ko na din yan… kahit anong gawin ko ayaw nila talaga uminom ng gamot.. pero kahit anong stress, pagod at kunsumi ko, hindi ako nagpatinag, kailangan talaga natin makipagpilitan sa kanila 🙁 masakit man sa loob natin na makita na umiiyak sila or sumusuka pag umiinom ng gamot, wala tayong choice but tiisin un..

      ang alam ko kase as much as possible nga dapat wala pang laman ung tyan pag iinom ng HRZ kit para mas madali ma absorb ung gamot.. so baka pag hinalo mo sa milk eh mabawasan ung effective nya.. pero para sure, ask mo din ang pedia kung possible un

  118. Hello po Ms Pehpot! Super Thank You po dito sa blog nyo. Such a great help for me as mommy rin ng batang may PC. My daughter is 2 yrs old and 6 months now, she was diagnosed yesterday na may PC siya. She was 8months old when she was diagnosed she has an asthma, since then we’ve been fighting different illnesses such as Pneumonia, Bronchitis. She was hospitalized twice, in the year 2014 & 2015 and still we’ve been in and out in her doctor’s clinic because of her recurrent cough. Until April of 2016, we decided to change her doctor which is now a Pediatric Pulmonologist. My daughter had a series of clinic check up with her new doctor since then and we brought a copy of my daughter’s Xrays when she was hospitalized in 2014 & 2015, and also her recent Xray to her doctor. Then the doctor decided to have my daughter a PPD test, and she’s positive. She’s not gaining weight though she’s malakas kumain at mag dede. I also hate her coughs, pag inuubo kasi siya ina asthma agad siya. Naiiyak na ako minsan kasi naaawa na ako sa kanya. Good thing talaga na nahanap ko itong blog mo po kasi it will help talaga for the first part of the treatment ng daughter ko. Atleast now, My idea na ako what to do sa buong duration ng treatment ng daughter ko. I pray each day na gagaling rin siya.

      • Hi po ulit Ms Pehpot! ? natagalan reply ko sa inyo inabot ng 2017.. hehehe But anyway, I just wanted to say na thank you so much for your prayers and advices!? After 6 months of medication, my daughter is now a PC free.. and thank God after 6 months, di na rin sya inatake ng asthma nya at nakakatulong na sya ng mahimbing. Kaya mga mommies dyan, tiwala lang po talaga.. and I agree with Ms Pehpot said, “…right dosage and no missed date, the child will be cured after 6 months”… in addition to that, sundin lang po talaga kung anong bawal sa anak nyo. On my daughter’s case na may PC and asthmatic pa, ipinagbawal sya ng doctor nya na kumain ng chicken, egg, chocolate, ice cream, lemon, orange, calamansi.. hanggang sa nasanay na yung daughter ko di na sya talaga kumakain nung mga bawal.
        Thank you again Ms Pehpot! more power to your blog! ?? Sana marami ka pang ma inspire na mga mommies. God bless! ♥️
