Hello,
It is the correct regimen, so no need to worry. Some patients need a longer duration of treatment for complete resolution of pleural effusion. So in my opinion, you should continue R-Cinex and Combutol for two months more. Also, take multivitamin tablets and protein powder. It will heal your residual effusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
