If you have active TB disease, your doctor will give you several antibiotics to treat the infection and to help prevent resistant bacteria from emerging in your body. The most common regimen involves taking a combination of INH, Priftin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (Myambutol) for three months, followed by INH and Priftin to complete six to 12 months. If your TB is inactive an antibiotic called INHis often prescribed to help prevent the dormant infection from becoming active.Your doctor will likely have you take a daily dose of INH for nine months and evaluate you regularly to ensure that you're tolerating the drug without major side effects.
