I read through all the reviews and thanks to everyone, it sure helped me. I will start my medication today with the B6 for 9 months. So I am going to give it a chance but I am scared. Good luck to everyone.

I've been taking this for a month and a half with another drug for inactive TB. This stuff kicks my butt. Nasuea for about an hour after i take it. Joint pain, moodiness. Not had my liver functions checked but I seem fine. If it works it work but I'll be glad to be off of it.

After 1 week on this drug combined with rifampin, I was having stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, weakness, and extreme mental confusion. My doctor removed me from therapy for 1 week and then resumed therapy with rifampin only. I completed a 5 month treatment program feeling poorly the entire time. Within 2 months later, my kidney function dropped drastically and 2 months after that, I was in acute kidney failure and on dialysis. My kidney function never recovered and now, 2 years later I am awaiting kidney transplant. If you have any negative symptoms while on these drugs - watch your kidneys closely as ordinary blood and urine testing did not alert my medical team to the possibility that my kidneys were in trouble.

I am down to 15 days left after nearly nine months on this drug. I have not noticed any issues. My infectious disease doctor did not check my liver functions but I have felt fine. its a long stretch taking these medications everyday but you can do it. Is worth it when you consider it lowers the likely hood of getting full on TB.
