I have been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB); what medicines should I take for my treatment?

Asked by Male, 34 · 8 hours ago

Tuberculosis is highly treatable. The standard treatment for active TB involves a combination of four antibiotics: Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol. Typically, you will take all four daily for the first 2 months, followed by just Isoniazid and Rifampicin for another 4 months, totalling a 6-month course. It is absolutely critical that you take these medications exactly as prescribed every single day, even after you start feeling better. Stopping early or skipping doses can cause the TB bacteria to become drug-resistant, which is much more difficult to treat. Please follow your prescribing doctor's specific guidance and dosing schedule closely.
