I*******I 发帖数: 195 | 1 The doctors are trying to help you. If you blood test is positive and x ray
normal, that means you have latent TB. Those drugs can greatly reduce the
chance of TB manifesting when you get old or when your immu-systems get weak
. These are all clinically proved. And those drugs are FDA proved and
usually prescribed on short terms, so damaging the liver is just non-sense
talk. All we are doing is just follow the WHO TB treatment guidance.
I just don't understand since when refusing to take TB drugs become
beneficial to your health on this board.
Of course if you don't have TB or latent infection you absolutely don't have
to take the treatment drugs. And you can refuse to take drugs if you do
have latent infection since it is your own health at stake. Except for
couples, if one is latent infection and the other is TB free, I still
strongly suggest you take the drug to better protect your loved ones. | e******r 发帖数: 9977 | 2 说的蛮中肯。lz是医生不?请问药品的名称能否科普一下?这样便于提问的同学自己

isoniazid 9 months
isoniazid and rifapentine 3 months
isoniazid 9 months is standard for almost 60 years, but ten years ago
clinical trial found isoniazid and rifapentine 3 months is equally effective
and even better. Since then more and more doctors are prescribing 3 months
isoniazid and rifapentine combination. It is shorter and cheaper. If your
doctor give you 9 months treatment, you can ask for the alternative 3 months
dose. One more thing, if you are HIV positive, you can only use isoniazid 9
months.
