Experiences with

Isoniazid

Hello, Just wondering if anyone over the aged 55 taking Isoniazid for 9 months ? And if did, tolerated well ? any side effects? Many thanks in advance.

Side Effects from Medicine: Stage 1 ( week 1 to week 8 ) This is a combination of ethamutabol/rifampicin/pyromiazide/isoniazid. My initial effects were: Exhaustion, no desire to eat, nausea, dizziness and the most awaited brown pee.

Hello, I'm on Isoniazid, getting closer to the 2,5 months, but I'm becoming increasingly more depressed and irritable. Anyone else experiencing these? And I'm dropping things from hands and feel and clumsy, fine motor skills impaired ?! Many thanks.

i am on rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and pyranzinamide and have completed 10 weeks now out of 9months. I feel tired, nauseous, tingling in fingers and toes, itchy skin, aching muscles. I am trying so hard to avoid tyramine as this really makes it worse.

I started Isoniazid a few weeks ago, and just wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experienced some symptoms of nerve damage due to Isoniazid? I seem to have a little bit of weakness in my hands.. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about this at this point or not?

Just wondering about some common symptoms/signs of toxicity while on Isoniazid, it would be useful to watch for these symptoms for early identification !! Many thanks Rodegardens

hello, I have started Isoniazid for 6 months, but I'm 58 yo. Liver risk is apparently higher because of my age. Just wondering if anyone is aware of some supplements that can support the liver? Thanks in advance Rosegardens

I tend to have a medication sensitivity and wondering whether I would tolerate Rifampin or Isoniazid better ? Also in terms of safety, which medication would be a better choice? Thank you so very much in advance, any information welcomed. Sue

On my 3rd month of treatment for active TB, currently on Rifampin, isoniazid, and b6. Looking at 6 months of treatment, maybe 9.

I has optic neuritis due to isoniazid but all the tb meds interacted so I'm off them for number of weeks to recover. However remaining brain tb is causing inflammation and I just don't know what to do.

..very toxic bad side effects w Isoniazid I am a 60years w stool calprotectin at 300.

I had pulmonary tuberculosis 3 years ago, had serious reaction towards isoniazid so i wasn't able to take it and received treatment around 10 months. Fully recovered. My doctor said he couldn't notice anything from my X-ray, i was very happy with it.

I was diagnosed with latent TB and on Isoniazid since Aug. I feedback to a local subsidised Infectious disease doc that I had severe diarrhoea 4 days later, from midnight to morning disturbing my rest too.

Hi, just started this for my Latent TB and am experiencing terrible headaches in the night, it hurts my eyes and it’s there during the day after taking painkillers too. I spoke to my nurse and she said Headaches aren’t a side effect but I haven’t changed anything else. I’m also taking prednisone 10mg

Anyone with similar experiences of Isoniazid and tips to handle the diarrhoea?

In these cases, the pathogen has become resistant, i.e. insensitive, to the best tuberculosis drugs, rifampicin and isoniazid. This is due to changes in the genome, so-called mutations, which almost always occur at the same points in the genome.

In patients with multidrug-resistant TB, medicines such as isoniazid and rifampin do not work or have to be stopped because of side effects.

Hi all - Just began my treatment for LTBI with Isoniazid and have been very confused about the suggested diet changes. My doctor didn’t mention anything but I read it on the leaflet from my pharmacist.
