Hello
Rifampicin, isoniazide pyrazinamide, ethambutol are the ingredient in fixcom-4 .
The red color allergy may be due to any of these drugs ( but this is uncommon ) .
Since you are having PTB ,so the treatment is very important , don't stop this anti tubercular treatment .
Since when such case visit I prescribe montelukast= fexofandine when allergy develop .
But this is a prescription drug , so consult your doctor .
Sometimes I have also noted that usually allergy is associated with PTB ,so treatment is important.
Take a full course and remain in contact with your doctor.
Good luck.
