I am a 21 years male and I am suffering from Tuberculosis, my eight months medication is over and last month drugs are ongoing. I take rifampicin, isoniazid 600 and combutol 1000 daily and regularly . Since last 3 months I have lost interest in alcohol and whenever I am with my friends and I take 1 or 2 peg of alcohol after half an hour later I start vomiting . My Liver function tests are normal everything is fine with my body but I cannot understand that before taking this medication I often drank 5-6 peg of alcohol but never vomited and now vomiting problem creates a huge embarrassment for me, well since last 3 months I had alcohol for only 3 times and all the three times I have vomited.

Well, it's good that you have limited your alcohol consumption to the minimum. Alcohol and isoniazid do not react well when taken together. Alcohol may increase the risk of liver damage with isoniazid. Those who are on isoniazid are advised to abstain from alcohol as they may have unpleasant side effects. Once the drug is stopped you will not have these symptoms after alcohol consumption.
