The advantage is that you get rid of the tuberculosis. Drawbacks to antibiotic therapy for this particular disease are mainly associated with the time frame. People with TB have to antibiotics for a minimum of six months! That's a long time to multiple medications when you aren't used to doing so. Also, some of the antibiotics that are given to treat TB are hepatotoxic meaning they can cause liver damage. Because TB is such a dangerous disease and can be spread to those who live in close confines, it's essential that they comply with therapy. However, many people find this difficult so there are programs in place to monitor medication compliance. In short, you basically have someone "checking up" on you to make sure that you are taking all your medicine. Some people probably find this quite annoying
