Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Anti TB drugs are known to cause gastritis, nausea and vomiting.
The ideal way to take anti TB drugs is on empty stomach in the morning.
But if patient develops gastritis and nausea then he/she can take anti TB drugs after light breakfast.
Or patient can take antacid and antiemetic combination prior to anti TB drugs to avoid gastritis and nausea.
So don't worry much about this. This can be easily solved by above mentioned measures.
So discuss these with your doctor.
I find this answer helpful
