Deltyba during pregnancy.
It is not known whether delamanid passes into human breast milk. Breastfeeding is not
recommended during treatment with Deltyba.

Deltyba is expected to have a moderate effect on the ability to drive and use machines. If you experience side effects that may impair your concentration or reaction time, do not drive or operate machinery.
