Summary:[3] Antitubercular treatment or anti-Kochs treatment like other drugs have adverse effects. Since the combination of drugs is used for prolonged period for the treatment of TB, adverse effect of one drug may be potentiated by the companion drugs. [5] The study of ADRs is important to estimate the contribution of ADRs to hospital admissions, characterize the types of ADRs observed, determine predisposing risk factors, and estimate the costs of ADRs in terms of ADR-related excess hospital stay. Study Procedure Keeping in mind, all the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the eligible patients who were on treatment for TB disease and complaining of any serious adverse event and/or adverse event visiting in the outpatient department and/or admitted in the inpatient department of pulmonary medicine were selected for the study. [...]early recognition and reporting of ADRs by the patient to the physician plays a key role.
