Fixcom 4 is for treating tuberculosis. It can have many side effects but the most common would be nausea. It can cause liver irritation so your doctor will want to check liver blood tests while you are on it. If you have TB then it is very important that you take this drug. Cloxacillin is an antibiotic. If you have a boil then taking the Cloxacillin may not help it resolve as boils usually need to be lanced to resolve. Cloxacillin is good for treating skin infections so if the skin around the boil is infected it may be necessary. It too can cause nausea but is generally well tolerated. It is okay to take the 2 drugs together but the Fixcom 4 is the most important.
