Hello,
Anti tubercular drugs like Isoniazide (INH),Rifampicin,Pyrazinamide are known to cause hepatotoxicity.
One needs to stop these potentially hepatotoxic anti- tubercular drugs , if he is taking any of these and to replace by non-hepatotoxic anti-tubercular drugs like streptomycin,ethambutol or fluroquinolone groups like moxifloxacin or levofloxacin.
However each case needs to be dealt with as per individual case scenario.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
