Yes on finding any evidence of Ethambutol eye toxicity, Ethambutol needs to be stopped immediately and not to be given again. An eye specialist should document the same. If required it should be replaced by another Antitubercular drug preferably with known sensitivity.

The doses of TB medications are according to body weight with a maximum recommended dose. Some times doses need to be modified as per kidney function test. I think you need to reconsult your doctor for doses as per body weight as per guideline.

There is possible tb infection or another lung pathology. It's therefore required to first screen for tb in all hiv positive persons and then only take a decision on starting isoniazid prophylaxis. To better understand the importance of tb and hiv treatment, please ask your friend to take a private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain or him properly and do my best to help. Out. If in or near mumbai, pl take appointment for personal consultation.
