Hi,
Advised second line anti-TB medications. Based on the history you seem to have developed liver toxicity apparently caused by the first line anti-TB medications. I suggest you to stop taking these medications and switch over to combination of second line anti-TB medications such as cycloserine, ethionamide, capreomycin, clarithyromycin, or fluoroquinolones.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
