How To Prevent Recurring Pott's Spine?

My wife (age 32 yrs) was diagnosed with Pott's spine in D5-D6 area in Feb 2011. She was suffering from severe back pain before that and on inspection through MRI , Pott's spine was detected and ATT treatment was started. ( Medicines prescribed were Rcinex 600 mg, Combutol 800mg, Oflox , Benadon 20mg ,pza 600mg).She was on complete bed rest for next 3 months,. Again in May2011 MRI was repeated and she was allowed to walk using Taylor's brace. Now she is completely fine and is doing daily routine work. From june medicines she is taking are Rcinex 600mg and benadon 20mg. I want to ask whether we should have continued with all the previous medicines for complete 1 year or after 4 months only 2 medicines(Rcinex and Benadon) are required for 1 year. Moreover is there any chances that this will relapse in future.What are the precautions to avoid that and can she do all the work , travelling ,exercises etc.
