First of all, congratulations on your compliance to the entire treatment. Fibrosis is the sequel of pulmonary TB and does not indicate active TB. (It actually indicates a healed patch.) You should try to get a fitness certificate from a physician (preferably one who specializes in chest medicine or treating TB) in a country where you are located stating that you no longer have any active form of PTB and are completely cured of the past infection & are physically fit to do the job you do. To answer your question, there is no maintenance therapy for TB. Just maintain good diet and take proper precautions (whenever possible) in avoiding direct contact with a known contagious case
