• New patients with pulmonary TB should receive a regimen containing 6 months of rifampicin: 2HRZE/4HR.
• The regimen is a combination of those four drugs (i.e. HRZE) for 2 months followed by isoniazid and rifampicin (i.e. HR) for 4 months, administered daily.
• Wherever feasible, the optimal dosing frequency for new patients with pulmonary TB is daily throughout the course of therapy.
• For pulmonary DS-TB, the most important evidence of improvement is conversion of the sputum culture to negative.
• The classic symptoms of TB – cough, sputum production, fever and weight loss – generally improve within the first few weeks of treatment.
