Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
* Pyridoxin is vitamine B6 along with Doxylamine..( an anti allergic medicine ) .. the combination is frequently used in pregnancy to control morning sickness with excessive vomiting.It s reported to be safe in pregnancy without any adverse effects on pregnancy, mother or fetus. Benadon is a generic name of B6 & Doxylamine.. obivoisly it is safe in pregnancy.
* The other three drugs are anti TB drugs ( INH, Rmcin 600, combutaol) & they are first line treatment drugs of tuberculosis & a well super vised treatment with these drugs is having excellent results . They have excellent safety & do not show human fetal malformations.
Vitamin B6/ high protein / multivitamin containg diet helps.
Thanks.
