How Long Should The Tuberculosis Medicines Be Continued?
age-22,height-5.1inch,weight-46, I am a girl.I had been suffered from tuberculosis since three months but I don't take any madicine from last one month without any advice of doctor so I don't know that I am right or wrong but now I don't have any symptom of this disease so please advice me about that.
You have diagnosed tuberculosis and after one month you have stopped drugs....
If drugs not taken for its full course then antibiotic resistance can be there ..... Symptoms usually disappear within few days after starting drug but that doesn't mean you can stop drug....
You are now defaulter case.... AKT should taken for 6 or 9 month whatever duration required according to categories....

Hi thanks for contacting HCM... You are doing wrong thing ..... You have diagnosed tuberculosis and after one month you have stopped drugs.... If drugs not taken for its full course then antibiotic resistance can be there ..... Symptoms usually disappear within few days after starting drug but that doesn t mean you can stop drug.... You are now defaulter case.... AKT should taken for 6 or 9 month whatever duration required according to categories.... So consult pulmonologist for again starting drug.... Take care
