My mother has rheumatoid arthritis and is now on Remicade. However because of her past medical history of TB, she is required to take Isoniazid. The doctor said she has to be on it for 5 months ( she has been on for over 1 month ) but lately she has been experiencing severe headaches, high blood pressure, and nausea. She believes it is Isoniazid's side effects and the doctor does not seem to believe so. My question to you is, is there any thing we can do to alleviate the side effects? I read on wiki that it metabolize in the liver and creates a toxic by-product which is linked to hepatitis thus the side effects. Thanks!
