Adverse Reactions from Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article focuses on the adverse reactions that patients with pulmonary tuberculosis may experience from anti-tuberculosis drugs. The study aims to identify the common adverse reactions, their severity, and the risk factors associated with their occurrence. By analyzing previous relevant studies and examining data on patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, the article highlights the importance of monitoring patients for adverse drug reactions and adjusting their treatment plan accordingly. The results indicate that the occurrence of adverse reactions is a common problem in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, which can lead to treatment discontinuation and poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, healthcare providers need to be aware of these adverse reactions and implement proactive measures to minimize their impact on patients. Overall, this article provides valuable insights for clinicians who prescribe anti-tuberculosis drugs and aims to improve patient care and treatment outcomes.
