Tuberculosis Treatment

The therapeutic approach for tuberculosis commonly necessitates the application of a blend of antibiotics across a predetermined timeframe. The initial stage, referred to as the "vigorous phase," entails the utilization of diverse antibiotics to combat the actively proliferating bacteria. Subsequently, the "sustaining phase" ensues, during which the medicinal routine is streamlined for ease of administration. The common antibiotics employed are Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, and Streptomycin.
