Brief Answer:
Check for pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting the query.
This is a usual side effect of the Anti TB medicines. Need not worry much.
If you are married and sexually active without any contraception then i suggest you to check for the urine pregnancy test. If it is negative then you can have TAB.DEVERY 10mg 1 tablet in night for 5 days and stop. after which you will get the periods in 3 days.

any query do follow up.
Take care.
