Hi and welcome to ASK A Doctor service. I have read your question and here is my advice.
joint pains ar ent very common woth these drugs , howe've one side effect of pyrazinamide ( which is there in the JkT4 ) is that it can cause high uric acid causing joint pain in which case we need to stop pyrazinamide .So I would like you should chek his uric acid level , and his LFTS .
Hopes i have answered your question. please feel free to ask anything in this regards.
