Lethality of brucella is because of its complications which can be prevented by strict adherence to the treatment. The treatment is, as your doctor has prescribed you, for 6 weeks. Sometimes its hard to kill the organism and for that maybe you'll have to take the medication for a few more weeks. Rifampicin tablets (600 mg) oral for 6 weeks is the preferred choice of treatment and this shall get you rid of brucellosis. But its heavily advised that you should keep distance from animals, even the domestic ones, during this treatment course.
