The recommended doses of ATT is given below RIFAMPICIN 10 mg/kg Maximum 600/dose ISONIAZID 5 mg/kg Maximum 300 mg /dose PYRAZINAMIDE 15-30 mg/kg Max 2 gm /dose ETHAMBUTOL 5-25 mg/kg Max 2.5 g/dose So you can see the doctor has given adequate doses according to your weight taking into consideration the maximum dose recommended. I think this is OK. The important thing in Anti TB treatment is the regular daily taking of tablets as recommended by the doctor. You should take it minimum 6 months and extended to 9 months if your doctor tell you so. As it spinal TB I think it is better to take treatment for 9 months. Don't worry if you take your medicines as per the doctors orders for adequate time you will be fine
