Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,

It is unfortunate that your daughter has adverse reaction to anti tubercular drugs . Although very uncommon but severe adverse reactions due occur after some anti tubercular drugs . In that case some drugs are stopped and other drugs are given for some time before again starting previous drugs . As it is not recommended to stop therapy , it is essential to continue treatment with other drugs for some time before previous medicines are started again. As these medicines are not hepatotoxic , they can be given safely.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions

Take care.
