Is It Safe To Get Pregnant If Husband Is On Isoniazid Treatment?

hi, my husband has recently started a 9 month treatment for being exposed to tb but not having tb. We were trying to conceive and I was wondering, while he is on this treatmeat of taking isoniazid should we postpone trying? i did not know if this would have any harmful effects or be any birth defects due to him taking the medication.

Hi, I think you can try for pregnancy now. Isoniazid doesn't have any side effects on fetus. So, you can try naturally. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Hope I have answered your question.
