Treatment For Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis can be cured. It also can be deadly if not treated. TB is treated with medications that must be taken every day for a long period of time, normally 6 to 9 months. It is very important that medication be taken exactly as the doctor prescribes and do not stop taking the medicine until the doctor tells you to. Many people begin to feel better after 2 or 3 weeks of treatment and are no longer able to spread TB to other people. However, the medications will still be needed for the rest of the 6 to 9 months.
