Brief Answer:
Yes, it is

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns,

But I agree with your doctor as regarding the perscribed dose which is the recommended dose for patients with body weight more than 30 kilograms for treatment of latent Tb... Isoniazid can be prescribed up to 900 mg as well..

I hope I answered your question.
Feel free to ask further.
