Brief Answer:
Incorrect decision

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

If you are a proven case of Tb lymphnode I have wanted you to stop Forecox ( which is a combination drug) in case of affection of the liver, however I would want you to individually take Ethambutol and Pyrizinamide along with Oflox or Levoflox until recovery of the liver.
Please speak to your doctor regarding my suggestion

I hope I was of help if you have any further queries please get back to me

regards
