Hello,
As your relative is diagnosed to have uterine tuberculosis,doctor has started this medicine which is contains rifampicin and isoniazid. Both the medicines are safe in pregnancy. Yes apart from these if patient also taking streptomycin then it should be discontinued as it causes harm to the baby. So whatever the course. Doctor has advised,it should be completed for the complete cure of the disease. Dont worry and follow what the doctor has said.
Thank you.
