Question

I'm currently being treated for MDR-TB and I've been experiencing some issues with vomiting. I'm worried about my liver health and I'm thinking about stopping moxifloxin and ethanamide for a bit to help my liver recover. Do you think that's a good idea? Are there any risks I should be aware of?
