Of all anti-TB drugs only Rifampin may cause side effects in your urine, stools, saliva, sputum, sweat, and tears to turn red-orange; this effect is harmless. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: headache, muscle pain, bone pain, heartburn, upset stomach, vomiting, stomach cramps, chills, diarrhea If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: skin rash (hives), sores on skin or in the mouth, fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes
