Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
AKT kit is a three pronged weapon to combat TB. There are no specific side effects of the drug on pregnancy/ fetus though routine side effects like jaundice/ allergic problems/ neuralgic side effects remain.. but you already had been on the kit for last 5 months & did not have any side effect.. so be relaxed,& follow your doctor's advise & get rid of TB the earliest.
It's already 2 months after your last menses & home pregnancy test would have been + ve by now... provided you had regular menstruation.
- I would advise for detaining pregnancy ( in case it's not there at present )complete the course/ get your general condition improved & plan for a baby later on.
- If pregnancy is +ve at present, carry on. Continue with anti TB drugs as advised/ take routine pregnancy check ups with nutritious diet, sufficient iron, protein & vitamin supplements & ideal pregnancy life style.
Thanks.
