What Causes Speech Problem In A Child After Taking Isoniazid And Pyridoxine?
Hi, I have a 9 y.o. son given treatment of isoniazid+pyridoxine for being exposed to my driver with TB. After 1 week of treatment, I noticed that he has a slight speech problem, he speaks slower and sometimes repetitious. Is it possibly caused by this medication ?
Isoniazid can cause slurring of speech in some children. If troublesome, kindly discuss with your pediatrician for possible dose adjustment(depending on his weight and the dose he is on now)
