Isoniazid 100mg Tablets: Side Effects and Experiences
I've been prescribed Isoniazid 100mg Tablets to treat tuberculosis and I'm wondering if anyone else has taken this medication and can share their experiences, especially regarding the side effects. The list of potential side effects is quite long and a bit scary. Has anyone experienced any of the more severe side effects like lupus or high blood sugar? How did you manage them? I'm also curious about the less severe side effects like upset stomach or vomiting. Any tips on how to cope with these would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I'm prepared for what to expect.
I've heard that some people have pretty severe reactions to this drug, so definitely talk to your doctor about any issues you have. I had a friend who had a lot of issues.
I'm on month 3 of my 9 month treatment plan with this medication. I had some severe stomach pain at the beginning, but it's mostly under control now. I found that eating smaller, more frequent meals helps a lot. I also carry around Tums, and they really help when I need them.
I had a really weird side effect that wasn't on the list. I started getting these strange skin sores, and my doctor diagnosed me with a severe skin reaction. It was a nightmare. I had to discontinue the medication and it took a long time to recover. I hope you don't experience anything like that. Always talk to your doctor about any adverse effects and trust your instincts. If you feel something isn't right, it probably isn't.
Has anyone had issues with this medication and alcohol?
I think that's a very scary list of side effects, I would be worried taking that!
Who else is just worried about the frequent urination side effect? Can't be that fun!
