Smelly Armpits and TB medication
I have smelly armpits all of a sudden and thought that it may be related to taking my latent tuberculosis medication because I started having body other after maybe more than 2 months of intaking them. I had a different medicine for the first 2 months and when I took rifampacin and isoniazid after 2 months, I started having smelly armpit later on. Can this be a side effect of taking tb meds?
