Treatment of TB requires at least four drugs, namely isoniazid, rifampicin/rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. The most common treatment regimen (standard regimen) involves taking these drugs for 6 months. All four drugs should be taken for the first 2 months and in the next four months, rifampicin and isoniazid only. No alternative medicine treatment is effective for tuberculosis.
