Is it safe to take my tuberculosis (TB) medications?Retcare, Chirozyme, Ciplox-500, and the combination tablet of Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol?together with my period-regulating medicines and supplements (Recorrect Syrup, Neurokind-LC, Ovabless, Medolin, AVD 36, and Vehycal) and Cyctone tablets?
While your vitamins and supplements are generally safe, Rifampicin in your TB combination can lower the effectiveness of hormonal period regulators like Medolin. Additionally, calcium in Vehycal can prevent your body from fully absorbing the antibiotic Ciplox-500. To keep your treatments effective, please take your calcium supplements at least two hours apart from your TB medications and Ciplox-500. I highly recommend sharing this complete list with your doctor to safely coordinate your cycle regulation and TB recovery.
