Should Benadon For Tuberculosis Be Taken After Nine Months?

Hi ,currently I am on anti Tuberculosis drugs for last 9 months.I had an abscess in my right cervical lymph nodes which was drained out after 1 month of anti Tb medicines. My course consisted of Akurit 4 for 3 months followed by Akurit 3 for 2 months and now I am on R Cinex 600 since January. My doctor had adviced me Benadon 40, half a tablet and multivitamin A to Z. Actually, I wanted to know whether to continue medicine after 9 months. Secondly, I have been taking a full tablet of Benadon 40 instead of half, will there be any harm? I am 21 years old and weigh 79 kgs( before taking the medicine I weighed 61 kgs).
