I am a 26 years old female, I am on tb medications: rifampicin, levofloxacin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide since past few days, as the medications are high doses they are causing side effects like severe vomiting, the doctor has advised to stop medication for 3 days, will skipping the dose cause my situation to convert to mdr tb? Kindly advise on the same.

We need more details why doctor has chosen this regimen. 3 days stopping meds cabt cause mdr tb. But long pauses will be major issues if it happens please consult.
