Forgot tb meds, took 12 hr later
Hi Doctor,
I forgot to take tb meds, I was late by 12 hours.
This happened two times.
1st time - when i had to take tb medicine in morning, I took in night.
2nd time - when I had to take tb medicine at night, I took in morning.
Both the times , the moment I took my tb med, I made sure I take it that very specific time.example - when I took the missed dose at night, I started taking further dose at night only. Hope there is no issue in this.

TB medicines have to be taken first thing in the morning on empty stomach and nothing to be taken by mouth thereafter for 30 minutes. This is for better absorption of drugs and for better outcome of treatment and to avoid developing of drug resistance. Please ensure this strictly. If you forget to take your medicines, take them as soon as you remember and then next day’s dose to be taken at it’s usual time. Please ensure this
