is your mom being monitored by the DOT program or some sort of organization for her TB treatment? usually if the side-effects aren't severe, they can be treated with drugs to minimize the headaches and nausea. and as sirV is asking, what is your mom's regular BP? if it suddenly shot up after taking the drug, it may or may not be the drug. there are so many causes to high blood pressure which makes it difficult to point out what's causing it.

remicade can be an immunosuppressant, which basically means it weakens your body's immune system. while your mom is on antibiotics, remicade may be contraindicated (incompatible taking two drugs together) when taking isoniazid because the immune system is needed to kill TB.

if you're worried about the liver, you can always ask your family doctor to order liver enzyme tests to determine if there is any damage to the liver. it's just a simple blood test. don't count on my information being 100% accurate. i'm just giving you information based on what i know. see a pharmacist or wait for sirvfung =)
