This is one of the more common symptoms of an allergic reaction to antituberculosis drugs. The person experiencing the allergic reaction can develop hives or a skin rash that is often itchy.
Some people may experience difficulty in breathing due to swelling in their airways as a result of the allergic reaction. This may lead to wheezing or laboured breathing.
Tissues in the face or body may swell during a drug allergy. This includes the lips, the tongue, the throat, the eyes, or any part of the body.
People could feel faint or lightheaded as an allergic reaction to antituberculosis drugs. This could be due to a drop in blood pressure caused by their immune system's reaction to the drug.
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other digestive issues are also possible symptoms of a drug allergy. This is because the immune system's reaction could interfere with the processing and absorption of food in the gut.
An allergic response to a drug can also trigger an elevation in body temperature, presenting as a fever. Alternatively, some people may experience uncontrollable shaking or chills.
Recognize your symptoms?
An allergy to Antituberculosis Drugs, like any other drug allergy, can manifest through a series of symptoms. Recognizing these symptoms can help determine whether you have an allergy to these specific medications. To help you recognize this, here is a step-by-step guide.
Identify Common Symptoms of Drug Allergies
Note the Timing of Symptoms
Your symptoms usually will start within an hour of taking a drug, but in some instances, reactions can occur hours, days, or even weeks later.
Medical Confirmation
If you suspect you have an allergy to Antituberculosis drugs, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor can confirm whether your symptoms are indeed an allergic reaction, and they can guide you on the best course of action, which would typically include discontinuing the medication and treating the allergic reaction symptoms.

Before starting the antituberculosis treatment, patients should be thoroughly assessed for their medical history, including any known allergies to medications. This helps in identifying if the patient is allergic to antituberculosis drugs, or has a propensity to develop such allergies, thereby ensuring patient safety.
Patients on antituberculosis treatment should be closely monitored for common allergy symptoms like rashes, itching, swelling, dizziness, and difficulty in breathing. If such symptoms are noted post drug administration, immediate medical attention should be sought and necessary diagnostic tests conducted to confirm the allergy.
If there is a suspected history of drug allergy, allergy tests should be conducted before initiating the antituberculosis treatment. These could range from skin tests to blood tests, and can help in the early detection of a potential allergic reaction to the drugs, and subsequently, can aid in choosing an alternative treatment approach.
Also known as Drug Provocation Testing (DPT), this is a procedure where a drug is given to a patient in increasing amounts to determine whether an allergic reaction occurs. It should be conducted under strict medical supervision due to the risk of severe allergic reactions. It is often employed when there is a need to confirm or refute a specific drug allergy, allowing safe and effective drug use where previously there was uncertainty.
