This study aims to determine the incidence of side effects that occur during pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) therapy and identify categories of side effects using Naranjo Scale analysis. The method in this research is a descriptive observational approach Prospective Cross Sectional with the Naranjo Algorithm questionnaire.
