Total duration of tb treatment is minimum 6 months, out of which intensive phase consist of 4 drugs akt (akurit 4 in your case) has to be taken for minimum 2 months. Depending upon your response to treatment, your doctor will step down to 3 drug akt. Which will continue for rest of the duration of treatment.
