What Causes Speech Problem In A Child After Taking Isoniazid And Pyridoxine?
Hi, I have a 9 y.o. son given treatment of isoniazid+pyridoxine for being exposed to my driver with TB. After 1 week of treatment, I noticed that he has a slight speech problem, he speaks slower and sometimes repetitious. Is it possibly caused by this medication ?

Hi dear,
Isoniazid can cause slurring of speech in some children.
If troublesome, kindly discuss with your pediatrician for possible dose adjustment(depending on his weight and the dose he is on now)
Hope I have answered your query
