I'm pregnant and found out I have TB. Is it safe to take medicine while I'm pregnant?

Yes, there are pills you can take for TB while you're pregnant. If you have TB disease, you will need to take pills for 9 months. But do NOT take Streptomycin. It is NOT safe.

If you have TB infection (TB germs), your doctor probably won't give you pills until after you have the baby. Some women may have to take pills before the baby is born. It depends on when you got TB and if you have other health problems, like HIV.
