The dosages for TB depend on your weight. You should not exceed the doses you are prescribed because this can cause severe side effects that can be fatal, especially because the treatment of TB requires many months of treatment. It is also not advisable to take only 1 medication because this can cause your bacteria to become resistant and this can make it harder to treat your infection in the future. There are various regimens that can be used to treat tuberculosis. The CDC lists some of their recommendations here:
