TB is treated with a combination of four effective antibiotics. Depending on the sensitivity of the tuberculosis mycobacteria, there are treatment options for drug-susceptible TB. This includes the well-known isoniazid, rifapentine, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide, usually prescribed for 2 months, followed by a 4-month period where the number of medications is reduced, keeping only rifampicin and isoniazid.
In cases where the mycobacteria of TB become resistant to medications, there are several treatment options. The main idea is to keep four effective medications (meaning the ones that TB bacteria do not have resistance to).
