Side effects of TB pills for ladies

When women apply anti-tuberculosis drugs, they have the same reactions as men. Common side effects include damage to the liver, irritating symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract, decrease in white blood cells, allergies, and peripheral neuritis. Rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and isoniazid are the main anti-tuberculosis drugs used, among which rifampin is more damaging to the liver, isoniazid can cause peripheral neuritis, ethambutol can damage the optic nerve, and pyrazinamide can increase uric acid and induce gout. Therefore, during the course of anti-tuberculosis treatment, attention should be paid to the changes in the patient’s vision, liver function, and the appearance of peripheral nerve numbness and rash, which are all related to the side effects of anti-tuberculosis treatment. If there are changes in liver function, liver-protective therapy can be given, and if necessary, anti-tuberculosis drugs need to be stopped.
