Anti Side Effect

[SLNT_SCRM]

Any one know the anti side effect capsule? Currently taking Fixcom 3

Orange pee will be the main thing. Also an upset stomach or feeling of nausea. I have found that I have some days where I have virtually no side effects other than the orange pee, and then other days where I feel very tired and don't feel like eating much. It's important to keep up your protein intake, vitamin C (i'm taking a supplement) and I'm also taking a probiotic every morning to help my overall health. If you have any fermented foods like kombucha this helps your gut too. What side effects are you experiencing?

Hi SLNT_SCRM,

I have Googled Fixcom 3 and it looks to be a brand name for a combination drug containing the active ingredients Ethambutol

, Isoniazid, and Rifampin - which are three of the standard TB drugs. The side effects for these are detailed in this leaflet: thetruthabouttb.org/wp-cont...

As for medication to relieve the side effects, some of our patient contributors may have recommendations to make but it is also important that you discuss this with a trained medical professional such as your doctor pr pharmacist. The medications you need would depend on the side effects you are experiencing and need to work with your TB medications.

Best wishes,

Helen
