The antiTB medication, isoniazid, can cause severe liver injury in a small percentage of patients. For this reason patients taking isoniazid should have fairly frequent checking of their liver enzymes. Other antiTB meds like rifampin.and pyrazinamide can also cause.liverninjury. The liver injury caused by these meds are usually reversible after stopping them, but permanent damage occurs occasional

Agree with Dr. Colantino. Do not drink alcohol at all and avoid acetaminophen. You should consult your doctor to rule out treatable causes of liver injury.
