Ideal treatment standard will cure any disease. Reason for Pyna 5mon duration may harm other organs. Anyway for PTB, can stop treatment after 6mon course with negative reports

Ideally we can stop tb treatment by 6 months. Here in your case by third month itself sputum showed negative report. So its safe to stop by now provided no symptoms are present
