Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am sos orry to hear about these symptoms thaht you have reported. You would benefit from pyridoxine phosphate supplementation(Vitamin B6) which guards against these side effects caused by isoniazide which is one of the active ingredients. Ask you doctor to add this to your treatment regimen. Also, taking anti tuberculosis medications as prescribed is very important for the treatment to succeed. Do your best not to discontinue this medication because of side effects!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services, we very much appreciate this.
