Hello,

There is no side effects of taking taking ATT. but if you're using OCPs then their effect will be reduced due to Rifampicin induced enzyme induction. After completion of the course of medication you may plan for pregnancy. Hence, don't worry. ATT have many side effects like peripheral neuropathy, hyper uresemia, optic neuritis and liver toxicity etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
