Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, all these are side effects of anti tubercular drugs you are taking.
So better to take antacid (proton pump inhibitors) before anti tubercular drugs.
Also take multivitamin tablets containing folic acid, vitamin b 12, riboflavin and pyridoxine.
Don't worry, you will be alright with these new drugs. These side effects will subside.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
