Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
R cinex ( rifampicin + isoniazide ) having following side effects.
Rash/itching (swelling)muscles cramps, /aches, nausea, vomiting, red colored urine, jaundice.
These side effects increases in elderly & children patients.
As medication for Tuberculosis is important , so consult your treating physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
