Dear
The treatment offered by allopathy in such cases is much more dependable than ayurvedic or homeo options and more when this treatment is started then discontinuation causes more harm than benefit. In ayurveda basant malti ras swarn yukat is the drug for this purpose but results are not very promising. However other complications mentioned by you can be easily cured. In addition to DOTS you can give livomyn sy. to protect liver and increase appetite, cap streswin to keep stress away and maintain healthy thinking and kam dugdha ras to check hyperacidity. In addition to these specific action these medicines also increase the immunity of body so can be added.
