Most importantly,: protect your gut! Meaning the antibiotics of any kind can kill friendly flora that need to be avaiable to protect your immune system through the gut and also reduce stress levels. Two things that will help you! You can't avoid taking your anti TB antibiotics, but you can supplement, so that you can make sure to stay healthy, repair and replace good bacteria in your gut, and start feeling better!
