ABSTRACT. Here we present the results of retrospective analysis of medical records of 2292 patients with all forms of pulmonary tuberculosis aged 20 to 65 years, who were treated at the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Pulmonology named after F.G. Yanovsky of National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine in 2000-2018. We analyzed the most common side effects of anti-tuberculous drugs and their impact on treatment effectiveness. Practical recommendations for the elimination of adverse reactions to anti-tuberculous drugs in order to increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis are given here.
