Antitubercular therapy

Antitubercular therapy involves taking specific antibiotics over several months to treat tuberculosis, a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. The goal is to eliminate the bacteria completely, preventing the disease from spreading or becoming resistant. Treatment usually includes an initial intensive phase with multiple drugs, followed by a continuation phase with fewer medications. It’s important to adhere strictly to the prescribed schedule to ensure full recovery and reduce the risk of drug resistance. Regular monitoring by healthcare providers helps ensure the treatment's effectiveness and manages any side effects.
