Brief Answer:
It is very important to get the medicines. Not everybody gets side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have carefully gone through the details and have checked the attached report. The report confirms the diagnosis of TB and your doctor has prescribed medicines. However, rather than getting the medicines from outside, I would insist you to visit your nearest RNTCP centre (usually located in the Municipal Health Units or Chest Units of your area) and get the medicines from there.

Let me remark that these medicines have side effects and the jaundice could have an association with these medicines. But still it is very important to take these medicines and to cure the tuberculosis that you have contracted. The rest can be commented upon only after a careful cilnical evaluation.

I understand your health concerns but it is very important to religiously take the medicines. Visit the RNTCP chest centre and get the medicines.
