For those of you with pulmonary tuberculosis, never skip taking medication even if it's only once

I was guided by the doctor to always take this red medicine. This is an anti-tuberculosis drug in the form of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. if if this drug is forgotten to take even if only once, then the patient must repeat it from the beginning. even though the patient has been drinking for 2 months. Anti-tuberculosis drugs must be taken for 6 months.

Dosage for anti-tuberculosis drugs varies. if someone weighs 40 to 45, then 2 capsules of the drug must be taken in one drink and in a day. if the body weight is 45 to 50, then 3 capsules of the drug should be taken.

the doctor said if a person stops taking a drug, keeps repeating it from the beginning, drug resistance is likely to occur. This means that the dose of medicine that is usually taken is no longer able to kill TB germs. means you have to level up. usually 2 tablets, then it becomes 3 tablets. and if you forget again and then drug resistance occurs again, then 4 tablets must be taken. and if you forget again, then this red tuberculosis medicine will no longer be useful. that means there is no other medicine that can cure you.

For that, never forget to take your medicine. be disciplined in taking medication. and never give up. let's fight together.
