Best way to consume T.B. medicines.
I am a 23 year old patient of Tuberculosis. I have pleural effusion and I take the TB drugs, under the Govt NTEP Medication: isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol.
But I feel nausea, vomiting after taking medicines.
Can you suggest to me what's the best way to take the medicines to avoid vomiting, nausea, and gastric issues?
