Hello,
Let me simplify it by saying that none of the Anti-Tuberculous threpay (ATT) is teratogenic (causing malformation in the featus), except for the older genertaion injectable drugs.
If you or your wife is on tablets only, continue with the treatment and your wife should continue the pregnancy without any fears.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nauman Wazir
