Treatment of TB
TB can be cured with little or no complications
Medication must, however, be started as soon as possible and it must be taken regularly according to the instructions given at the clinic. It takes 6 months for TB to be cured completely, but within 2 weeks of starting treatment, the person will no longer spread the disease. Intensive phase medication is given for the first 2 months, 4 or 5 tablets (depending on body weight) are taken Monday to Friday. Continuation phase medication is given for the next 4 months, 2 or 3 tablets (depending on body weight) are taken Monday to Friday
Treatment must be completed
It is a mistake to stop taking medicines when a person feels better. All treatment / medicine must be taken for the full 6 months. If treatment / medicine is missed, the risk of a drug resistant strain of TB is possible. This TB is very difficult to treat and needs more than 18 months of treatment / medicine, with a long stay in hospital.
It takes a long time for TB germs to be destroyed. If medicines are stopped too soon and without instructions of the nurse or doctor the disease may start all over again.

Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterial infections are very difficult to treat, due in part to their slow growth and thick protective layer of lipids. Currently, a multi-drug regimen lasting at least six months is used to treat tuberculosis. Some drugs used in the normal treatment include isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide. However, drug resistance is on the rise, and strains are becoming increasingly immune to the standard treatments.
