 Hello and thanks for posting. Excess salivation, nausea and vomiting could easily be a side effect of one (or more) of the medications that your brother is taking. Indeed, there is also the potential for his HIV medications to interact negatively with some of his TB medications, to this possibility needs to be asked of his care providers. Hope that helps, BY | ||||||||
