Asking for advice

[Gby151995]

Hello everyone here. Thank you so much for this page. I just started taking my medicine for TB this week. Would you mind to give some devices for me. About food and vitamins that will help me feel better. What about the names of the drugs that the TB patient should take? What about the time they should take it. How can I protect my other organs to avoid the damage from the medicine that I'm taking. Thank you so much for your ideas.

Hi gby, i couldnt eat tuna or cheese as they made me violently sick, im not sure if its the same for everyone but my tb nurse told me to avoid them untill the end of treatment as they dont get on with rifampacin, so maybe its altered to different drugs. Sorry this wasnt much help, just my experiences. Also u should try to take your meds at the same time daily and an hour after food...

Hi alien. Thank you so much for sharing this info. At least I'm aware of it now. How about taking your medicine what time are you taking it.?

Hello alien 41. I'm taking mine during night time because the pharmacist told me to better take it at night. I started taking it already at morning time for a week but I change it to night time.. Is that okay? And how about can I color my hair or like hair make over is that possible? Like nothing will affect the way I take my med. Right?

Yes night time would work as long as roughly same time.

I coloured my hair throughout my treatment both diy and hairdresser, no problem at all
