Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Macox plus kid contains Rifampicin, INH and pyrazinamide. Almost all the Chat Doctor. You have to test for liver function before starting and every 2 months there after for early recognition of hepatotoxicity. All patients need not develop toxicity. Once you notice toxicity you have to stop TB medicine. Alternative will be suggested by your doctor. Nothing to worry, you can go ahead with treatment. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care
