For Tuberculosis, Latent: This is a very intense antibiotic with persistent side effects. I have been on this medication for one month and continue to experience nausea and vomiting. I have been fortunate to not experience reddening of my saliva or tears, but other body fluids have changed. My hepatic enzymes have more than doubled baseline values and continue to climb. It does its job well, but it is a tough 4 months to get through. |

For Tuberculosis, Latent: I was advised to take the rifampin treatment 3 weeks ago for latent TB and I am still taking it. My experience was terrible. I have fever everyday, nerve pain, I vomit, head ache and I also lose my appetite. Hope I will feel better, please pray for me.
