Can you take cold medicine with TB medicine?

For patients with tuberculosis, if they have a cold, such as influenza, they can take appropriate amounts of Chinese medicines for cold treatment, such as antiviral oral liquid and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, while taking anti-tuberculosis drugs regularly. But pay attention to the time interval of the medication, and anti-tuberculosis drugs should be separated by about two hours. In addition, patients should pay attention to drink more water, urinate more, rest more, maintain their immunity, and actively prevent infection, because anti-tuberculosis drugs are generally more damaging to liver function, especially rifampin and isoniazid. Therefore, patients should pay attention to take as little or no medicine as possible during the treatment period, so that the burden on the liver is also less, making liver damage and liver failure less likely to occur. Therefore, for patients with tuberculosis who have symptoms of cold, if they are heavier, they should actively consider intravenous infusion of cephalosporin antibiotics and other drugs such as diflucan for active injection therapy or oral treatment with antiviral drugs of proprietary Chinese medicines.
