Hi,
Thanks for your query.
TB needs a treatment of 6 months with 2 months of 4 drugs isoniazide, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol followed by 4 months of isoniazide and rifampicin. If the treatment has been started recently it will require addition of two more drug as rifa i 6 kid contains isonoazide and rifampicin only...
Best wishes
