Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If your mother has allergies for the 4 drug combination therapy, then your doctor probably wants to start out on single drug to find out which drug she is allergic to so that it can be excluded and 4 drug regimen can be started. It would be advisable to admit her in a hospital and then plan the treatment gradually as allergic reactions can be fatal.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
