In short, total 24 months treatment needed.. but some may stop by 18 months.. depending on clinical situation.. also these side effects can be related to thyroid problem due to drug ethionamide .. pyrazinamide is usually not given for more than 6 months but you need to consult your doctor for special reasons..
