Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, your baby will be healthy and no need to worry much.
AKT 4 is having rifampicin, pyrazinamide, isoniazid and ethambutol.
All these anti tubercular drugs are safe in pregnancy. These drugs don't cause any side effect to developing baby or mother.
So nothing to worry about these drugs.
Just finish the total course of 6-8 months and you will be cured.
Maintain good nutrition by taking protein powder and multivitamin tablets.
Drink adequate water.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
