Patients with tuberculosis need to drink plenty of water while taking medications. Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease of the respiratory system caused mainly by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The main form of treatment is the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs, with more than 3-4 combinations of drugs to choose from. Different drugs have different side effects, as most of them are taken for a long time, possibly up to half a year or more, and can easily cause damage to the liver and kidneys, which can lead to varying degrees of hyperuricemia, jaundice, and elevated transaminases. You need to drink a lot of water during the medication to promote the absorption and metabolism of the drug, which can reduce the damage to the liver and kidneys to a certain extent.
