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.

How does vaccination for tuberculosis prevents a person from getting the disease?
Vaccination for tuberculosis (TB), primarily using the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, helps to prime the immune system to recognize and fight the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. While it may not prevent infection entirely, it significantly reduces the risk of developing severe forms of TB, especially in children. The vaccine stimulates an immune response that prepares the body to respond more effectively if exposed to the bacteria in the future. This proactive defense mechanism is crucial in controlling the spread of TB in populations.
What does the tb vaccination do?
