Treatment
Treatment of TB requires 6 to 9 months of medication and ingesting several different drugs since the bacteria is difficult to kill. This is also the reason why several people stops and never finishes the medication thinking that they are already well upon seeing health improvements. However, your doctor is the best person to determine if you're already TB free or not.
6 months regimen for active TB consists of:
- 2 months with Rifater (isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide)
- 4 months of isoniazid ans rifampin (Rifamate, Rimactane)
- ethambutol (Myambutol)
In the Philippines, consultation and medication of Tuberculosis is free on all local health centers and public hospitals.

Thanks for this useful information here...most often we are either misguided or take less care to make sure we are treating the disease the very right way.

This is very sad how tuberculosis can completely eat you up and the medication though available is very rigorous and needs to be followed with patience.
