pulmonary tuberculosis is treated by a combination of drugs if someone is suffering from pulm TB for the first time he/ she should take certain medications like rifampicin 10-15 mg per kg isoniazid 5-10 mg per kg ethambutol 15-20 mg per kg pyrazinamide 25-30 mg per kg
these doses depend if you are taking alternate treatment that is under dots or unsupervised private treatment
choice of medications depend on the culture and sensitivity reports if previously treated
