Hi,
Forecox contains Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide which is used to treat tuberculosis. It prevents the growth of the microorganisms that cause the infection. Patients may experience some side effects like coughing up blood that is known as hemoptysis, loose motion, abdominal pain, stomach upset, nausea, vomiting etc.
Feronia XT contains both iron and folic acid which is used to treat nutritional anemia and a type of anemia called iron deficiency anaemia where someone has too few red blood cells because she has too little iron in her body. Iron and folic acid are needed for producing the red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body. Side effects of Feronia XT are nausea, vomiting, coughing up blood or hemoptysis, diarrhoea or bloody diarrhoea, stomach upset, abdominal pain etc.
Again, in tuberculosis as the bacterium begins multiplying in the body and destroying tissue, it causes symptoms like a bad, persistent cough, weight loss, drenching night sweats, fever, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, chest pain and coughing up or spitting up bright red blood, a symptom that occurs when the blood vessels inside the lungs become eroded and begin to bleed.
If coughing up blood and diarrhoea persist for long or bother her, then she should consult her doctor promptly for medical attention.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
