Can Pregnancy Be Planned While On Medication For Tuberculosis?

I am A Pradeep, recently I felt swelling at lymph node. So I visited doctor and as per doctor advise I did FNAC test. Where its found as 2 slide Positive and FAB Scanty. I have contacted Pulmonology doctor and doctor suggested Forecox tables (2 tbs) early morning before Break Fast and Benadon (1/2 tab) after lunch. I dont have any bad habits and my weight is 88kg. But Its found positive. I m newly married. Here my question is there any serious thing I have. Can I plan children at this stage. I visited so many sites after seeing these some are negative feedbacks and some are positive feed back so really makes me panic.Please advise.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

since you are taking tuberculosis drug. It's better to avoid pregnancy in first 2-3 months and after that you can plan. Plus it depends on you as you are comfortable with the drugs or not. If you have gastritis you should avoid pregnancy. As this the major side effect of tb. drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
