Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Akt3..ingradients are Ethambutol, Riphanpisin & Isoniadazide . out of these the animal study for Riphampicin was found to have embryo toxicity.But there is no confirmatory data to prove it in human being. She has to take it till delivery.
Any way, treatment of endometrial TB in pregnancy has to be treated & she has to continue the treatment till delivery.
So better to avoid Riphampicin( it is FDA category C drug) ... you should consult a TB specialist & get suitable medication in pregnancy for her.
thanks
