If this is what your doctor prescribed, then yes.

the doses that i remember are isoniazid 300mg rifampicin 600mg ethambutol 15-25mg/kg body weight and pyrazinamaide 20mg/kg body weight so i think the doses are okay.....the reason ethambutol dose is a bit low is that in higher doses it can cause serious side effects and as you decrease the dose its chances also decrease
