Tb meds that don't effect eyes

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. It appears all the tb first line meds and moxifloxacin can cause optic neuritis except pyrazinamide.

Just need alternative - delamanid safe instead?

Hi gurms31, Sorry for the long delay in responding. How are you now? How is your eyesight? I am afraid that we cannot give medical advice on this forum as it is not moderated by trained medical professionals - but we are a source of support should you need it. Hopefully your doctors have worked out the best regimen for your needs - though you can always seek a second opinion.

Best wishes,

Helen
