cardiac output and is seen primarily related to a significant decrease in in blood pressure and to deterioration of the arterial pressure pulse (Judson et al, 1956). The second side effect is related to immunological reactions, where a drug induced lupus- like syndrome (Arce et al, 2006). This syndrome can be seen in 15% of patients taking a dosage of 400mg or higher of the drug. This result is mostly seen in slow acetylators (Toxnet.nlm.nih.gov, 2015). As a slow acetylator, it is believed that…
