Hello.
You are rightly given ipt along with pyridoxine as per rntcp guidelines.
Pyridoxine (vit b6) is given to prevent one side effect of isoniazid. Ie peripheral neuropathy. It has no role in the development of drug resistance to inh. So please take pyridoxine regularly and you can take it at any time of the day if you have a problem to take with other meds. Thanks.

Rifampicin resistance not detected means Rifampicin INH pyrazinamide Ethambutol are to be taken in the requisite doses. There's no need of streptomycin injection.
Wish you good health.
Meticulous treatment adherence till cure is recommended to prevent relapse or complications.

Dear,
There are two common tests
One molecular test in 1 or 2 days result
Another test of microbial culture and drug susceptibility that takes 4-12 weeks.
Both are available in State Govt TB centres free of cost.

It's ok to take your fasting RComes which I consider is rifampicin and isoniazid 15 to 30 min empty stomach then only breakfast .avoid Razo d with it. If needed can be taken even before dinner. Rest is good. Weight gain is reassuring. Do get regular monitoring of disease with your physician.
