Brief Answer:
Please mention the reason for these medicines being prescribed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Let me mention that all medicines have side effects. This does not mean that anyone who takes medicines, will get side effects. Medicines are prescribed when the rewards of taking the medicine outweigh the risks. Rather than describing the side effects, I would insist you to mention why the medicines are given (the problems that you have). Based on that I would be able to suggest if the medicines are fine or whether substitutes with lower side effects are available.
Risorine uses lower dose of Rifampicin (200 mg instead of 450 mg) but maintains the same efficacy and is usually used to treat TB. This is a medicine that should not be used indiscriminately. This drug may cause upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, menstrual changes, headache, drowsiness, or dizziness. But the indication of this drug being given is more significant.
Wysolone on the other hand, is a steroid which should not be used indiscriminately. It can produce various side effect if improperly used or if not tapered off properly.
The others are insignificant and are not likely to cause major side effects.
I would await your response.
Regards
