Dear lybrate-user, MDR treatment is possible and with proper medication it can be cured. It is a 2 year long battle but if you are ready to fight, you can win. I am too far away from your place but I will advice you that if you can't get good treatment locally then approach doctors in New Delhi. The government TB program is robust now, you can approach them.
I wish you all the luck in your battle against TB.

Yes. It is necessary to know which drugs are working for the patient correctly. Genexpert and culture will only say that this is MDR tb but not the pattern of resistance to other drugs. The patient can also be further resistant to multiple drugs and not doing drug susceptibilty may miss an XDR tb. This can jeopardize the complete treatment

Better to take all TB drugs daily, all together, empty staomach with water. No food for 1 hour after tb drugs ingestion. This is as per WHO directions.
