Hi, recently I went for general check up. My doctor prescribed mantoux test, golden interferon test, xray and esr. Allah negative quite normal. Except mantoux test. Its positive. So my Dr. said all normal, but due to mantoux positive they prescribed me r- cinex tab for 3 months to prevent from disease. What I am confusing is all my report was normal. Then why she prescribed me to take that medicine for 3 months? Can I take? Or will they cause any side effects? please help me with your answers.
