Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Short a answer: Usually it takes 6 months.

Detailed answer: Thanks for asking on HCM.

The treatment for an active tuberculosis is given for 6 months. Anti-Tuberculosis drugs are given for 6 months. Once this course is completed, tests will be repeated to know whether TB is cured or not. Depending on this treatment duration may continue even after 6 months or stopped.

Hope this helps.

If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.

Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
