6 months and if no symptoms before starting treatment. Latent tb is not so actively treated if no symptoms if lung lesions or abdomen lessions with positive tb gold then should continue taking for 6 months you can. Take tb drugs post breakfast also.

I am a tb patient my medication course is near to it's completion, I was prescribed akurit and benadon 40 for the treatment but the problem is. Though I have been taking akurit-3 without missing, I skipped taking benadon 40 for many days and maybe months. I wanted to ask if that might cause any problem? My sgtp was normal.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Coughing up phlegm is a good thing. But if your cough lasts longer than two weeks or if the phlegm is yellow, green, brown, black, white or red, you should schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.
