All the above four medicines can be safely taken during pregnancy, none of them cause any fetal malformations.
You will have to continue these medicines throughout pregnancy. You should be under continuos care of your gynaecologist and physician throughout pregnancy and follow their advice.

Asked for male, 32 years old from Hyderabad

My father, aged 68, was recently in complete bed rest for the last 3 months and was taking akt 4 ofr first 2 months and then 1 month of akt3 after being diagnosed with Pott's spine. Spine surgeon told us that he is clinically doing really well and his CRP has improved from 67 to 11.2 Recently he is started to have blurred vision so we checked with Eye specialists and they suggested it to be EMB induced optical neuropathy. Its been some 4 weeks now that we have stopped Ethambutol and he has partially regained vision though there is acuity problems still. Now that he is on Rifampicin and Isoniazid, does he need to take some other medicine in place of ethambutol for his TB treatment? Hope stopping Ethambutol will not effect his spinal TB.

There are other optional medicines also with less side effects but for that you will need to consult your physician.
Or you can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment. Which is safer and can help a lot in vision ans spine.

My mother has renal TB, 5 years back she had taken normal TB treatment for 6 months and there was an stent in ureters for 6 months. After 6 months the doctor said their is still swelling in ureters so you need an operation. So we decided not to do any operation. My mother stopped all medicine. But their was some pain in right kidney continuously. So we decided to show again to an urologist in june. The doctor said your tb is still not cured. The doctor said we need to put stent again in right ureters and start again tb medicine. So now to condition is there is an stent and my mother is taking tb medicine from 6 july. The urologist referred to govt tb hospital for tb treatment. My mother is taking cat -2 treatment with streptomycin. She had taken 60 injection. And now she is having vision problem, so tb expert said you need to stop ethambutol. So we stopped ethambutol. So I want to ask to you sir, that, should we stop ethambutol or not.

Yes on finding any evidence of Ethambutol eye toxicity, Ethambutol needs to be stopped immediately and not to be given again. An eye specialist should document the same. If required it should be replaced by another Antitubercular drug preferably with known sensitivity.

MDR TB is rare in extrapulmonary TB
TB medication should not be interrupted as in your case. Rise in liver enzymes is acceptable till 3-4 times rise.

The doses of TB medications are according to body weight with a maximum recommended dose. Some times doses need to be modified as per kidney function test. I think you need to reconsult your doctor for doses as per body weight as per guideline.
