Treatment of PTB is usauly by 4 drugs and dose is calculated on weight basis.As you are diabetic,your intensive phage should have been for 3 months and not for 1 month and also maintenance phage of ATT should be of 6 month,so total of 9 month treatment has to be taken. You should have periodic xray chest, sputum AFB and liver function test done.Your diabetic should be under control ,otherwise all treatment will be waste.

Im am 25 years old, present weight 55 kgs (70 1 years before, I am suffering from stomach pain from 1 year in frequent intervals. Im not gaining weight and always burping is the main symptom. Usg and ct scan shown some problem at lower abdomen ileal area ,linked pelvis and appendix, recent usg shown mass formation in the right side of pelvis and enlarged right iliac nodes. My doctor said it is intestinal tb and started treatment. My doubt is how he confirmed as intestinal tb? And he said I have have to take tablets for 1 year and given combunex800 (ethambutol hydrochloride 800 mg and isoniazid 300 mg) and some becoplex tabs, allergy tabs. But I came to know tb treatment will 6 months with 2 months 4 tabs and next 4 months 3 tabs. Why my doctor said treatment will be 1 year and and gave 2 tablets only?

There is no reason for you to continue Pyrazinamide so long. And why is there no isoniazid in the prescribed drugs. The regimen you using for to cure tb is not correct. It should contain rifampicin, isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2-3 months and later the drugs should be continued without Pyrazinamide only for 9 months at the most in total.
I don't understand the reason for 1.5 yrs of treatment. Even if it's bone tb the drugs should be for 1 year and without Pyrazinamide.
