Should I Be Concerned By Taking Missed TB Medication After Meal Instead Of Before Meal?
Currently I am undergoing tb medication. The medicine I take is Rifa I6 forte and I have 25 days more to complete 6 months. The doctor advised to take the medicine before meal.But I missed 5 times and took the medicine after meal.
Will this be a concern and cause any issues?

Hi...taking it after meals will reduce its effect but after 5 months of treatment it should not cause any problems... but try to take the rest as prescribed...
