rifampin
also hav more diarrhoea related side effects too. Will appreciate your input!

Rifampicin & Resveratrol Nasal Spray
Hello to All, There recently were some studies published detailing the possible neurological benefits in "Nasal Spray of Rifampicin & Resveratrol". https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/16/8453/htm I realise that many may state, it was just in mice, so not that relevant. However, I believe that there is

Active Tb
Hello all, I am writing to share my story. I am a doctor myself as well. My symptoms started 6 months ago. I felt difficulty in breathing while climbing stairs. At this time I consulted a doctor, had an xray which mistakenly was thought to be normal and was started on bronchodilators for query exercise

Rifampin latent TB side effects
I am currently taken
rifampin
to treat latent TB. I have been having heart palpitations. It’s hard to tell if they are due to anxiety or if something else is going on. I read that anxiety can be a side effect but can’t find much more information! Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Also taking MAC drugs, ethambutol,

Itch scratch itch more
Guys this itch is driving me crazy I don't know how much longer I can carry on. GI has given me Questan and Rifampicin but more meds, more side effects. Years and years I've been plagued with itch despite only being diagnosed in October last year. Any natural remedies? Though I'm sure I've tried everything
