What type of side effects are associated with antitubercular drugs?

Antitubercular drugs are known to have a range of side effects, which can include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting, as well as dermatological reactions like rash, and general symptoms such as fatigue. The diverse nature of these side effects reflects the various mechanisms by which these medications exert their effects on the body, and the broader spectrum of potential reactions that patients might experience during treatment.

While neurological or cardiovascular symptoms can occur in certain contexts or with specific drugs, they are not the primary or most commonly reported side effects associated with antitubercular medications. Additionally, gastrointestinal upset is frequently observed but does not encompass the entirety of the potential side effects, which is why recognizing the broader range of symptoms is important for monitoring patient safety and ensuring effective treatment management.
