Hi,
Anti tubercular medicines specially Rifampicin cause a reversible damage of hepatocytes and thus resulting liver dysfunction. Ethambutol cause a visual toxicity. Asthalin may cause palpitation, tachy arryrthmias and electrolyte disturbances (decreased serum potassium).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
