7. How is TB Treated?

It is imperative for those with active TB to get treatment. Currently in the U.S. 10 drugs have been FDA-approved for tuberculosis. It takes between six and nine months to complete treatment. Curing the disease requires a strict adherence to the prescribed course of medication.

To prevent the disease’s recurrence and to stop the spread to others, it is necessary to finish the entire course of medication. Furthermore, it is important to follow the directions precisely. Not doing so can lead to the survival of some of the bacteria.
