Aim: Decreasing incidence of drug induced hepatitis Study Design: Double blind, randomized clinical trial with placebo, single center Inclusion criteria: New cases of pulmonary or extra pulmonary tuberculosis Exclusion criteria:HIV, HCV or HBV infection, abnormal liver function tests, drug regimen without Isoniazid, Rifampin or Pirazinamide, dissatisfaction of the patient and pregnancy or lactation. Number of cases: 30 cases in every group Method: In the base we check liver function tests and serology of HIV, HCV and HBV. Then randomly Silymarin 420 mg per day (Livergol 140 three times a day) and placebo prescribe, for the first 2 weeks of anti-tuberculosis treatment, as oral tablets. In this period we will check liver function tests three times weekly and evaluate the patients for nausea, vomiting, anorhexia, icter, diarhea,bloating, itching and skin rash daily.
