Brief Answer:
Yes, you can avoid these drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Hairbless is having minoxidil.
This drug has nothing to do with tuberculosis.
So you can stop it.
Tanz is having multivitamin. You can continue it. But if you feel bad after taking this then you can omit this also.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Whom are you consulting?
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all tell me whom are you consulting?
Is he pulmonologist or TB specialist?
Akurit 4 should be given to 2-3 months only.
No need to prolongit for more than 3 months.
And it should be given together to achieve highest therapeutic benefit.
You have not advised these so I doubt.

You can resume your daily routine including gym (light exercise).
And you can definitely do running. No harm in it. Who told you that running is not advisable?
