Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend has been taking isoniazid orally for a while, but it seems that the medication has triggered recurrent neuritis in the surrounding nerves. He is now very troubled about whether to continue taking the medication. Could you please advise if this situation allows for discontinuation of the drug?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, isoniazid is mainly used to treat tuberculosis patients, especially those with pulmonary tuberculosis, during the treatment process. It may reappear with the side effects and adverse reactions of isoniazid. At this point, it is necessary to go to the hospital for re-examination. Do not collect or stop medication arbitrarily, reduce or increase dosage without authorization. This can easily lead to the issue of pulmonary tuberculosis resistance.
