Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
There are many different medications used to treat TB. Usually multiple drugs are used to treat TB.
But none of them is contraindicated while breastfeeding. You can take them and it is safe.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
