Hello everyone, I just started taking Ethambutol 400mg tablets as part of my TB treatment regimen. I've been reading about the potential side effects, and I must admit, I'm a bit nervous. The drug information sheet mentions some serious side effects like vision changes and liver problems, but it also lists a lot of more common, less severe issues. Has anyone here taken Ethambutol? What was your experience like? Specifically, I'm curious about the vision changes and how common they really are. Also, any tips on managing the more common side effects like stomach upset or headaches? I want to be as prepared as possible. Thanks in advance for any insights!

I've just been prescribed Pyrazinamide 500mg Tablets as part of my TB treatment regimen. I've read about the possible side effects, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has taken this medication and what their experience was like. Did you experience any of the serious side effects? How did you manage the more common ones like muscle pain or upset stomach? I'm a little nervous about the potential for liver problems, so any advice on monitoring that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
