My doctor said that i have a clear xray (which means i don't have tb) but to be careful i need to take a treatment ! but what are the side effects ?

Provided: If your skin test or your blood test shows exposure than treatment is useful. Side effects are very rare at your age! but, depending the drug, tylenol (acetaminophen) and alcohol may need to be avoided. One other drug may interfere with birth control pills.
