isoniazid (INH), pyrazinamide, ethambutol, rifampicin are 4 drugs used in the Direct Observed Therapy for Short course. (DOTS)....its a 6 month program where u take all four drugs for the first 2 months nd only 2 (i think INH nd one more out of the other 3 ..not sure which) for the remaining 4 months.

True. Isoniazid(INH)+Rifampicin(RMP)+Pyrazinamide(P)+Ethambutol(EMB) for 4 months & RMP + INH for 2 months - for a total of 6 months. But get in touch with a healthcare professional bcoz other factors like drug resistance, latent TB have to be looked into.

There is no need for drugs the body can heal itself naturally with proper cell to cell function or what MIT calls glycosylation
