Hi,
I understand your concern.
Though anti tubercular drugs are in C catagory of FDA for treatment of tuberculosis in pregnancy. Still they become a must in TB control.. to avoid both maternal health & fetal growth. So they should be taken as advised by TB specialist as here,the benefits of the medicines over weigh the risks involved .
Thanks.
