Short-course chemotherapy containing isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP) and pyrazinamide (PZA) has proved to be highly effective in the treatment of tuberculosis. One of its adverse effects is hepatotoxicity. It is the most common side effect leading to interruption of therapy. It is associated with mortality of 6-12% if these drugs are continued even after the onset of symptoms. Risk of hepatotoxicity is increased when these drugs are combined.
