TB Pleural Effusion

2024-09-02 17:43:32
It's been 8.5 months of my treatment. My reports showed significant improvement, i gained almost 8kgs. Suddenly I am unable to take anti TB medicines. My stomach is getting upset after taking the medicines. I either throw up after sometime or i get loose motions. I didn't take medicines for next two days, and my stomach became completely fine.When can I stop taking these medicines, it's kind of irritating me.
