Detailed explanation-1: -While the treatment duration for drug-sensitive TB is six months, it may go up to one to two years for drug resistant TB .
Detailed explanation-2: -After taking TB medicine for several weeks, a doctor will be able to tell TB patients when they are no longer able to spread TB germs to others. Most people with TB disease will need to take TB medicine for at least 6 months to be cured.
Detailed explanation-3: -The 4-month rifapentine-moxifloxacin TB treatment regimen is as effective as (noninferior to) the standard daily 6-month regimen in curing drug-susceptible TB disease. Must be administered completely within 70 days from treatment initiation.
