Hello Your brother has taken full treatment ( assumed that anti tubercular treatment was according to WHO standard). Hope at present he don't have any signs and symptoms . So first of all consult your treating physician as different physician advise different duration for anti tubercular drug. If tuberculin pcr test is negative , don't having any sign and symptoms , blood tests are normal , physical examination is also normal then you can stop the treatment . But about the stopping the final decision will be taken by treating physician , so consult and get his opinion. Few doctor also advise anti tubercular treatment for 18 months but all depend on signs , symptoms , physical condition of patient. Good luck.
