Im suffering from tuberculosis since 2 months but the doctor has given me only 3 content medicines of rifimpicin isoniazid and ethambutol hydrochloride and not included pyrazinamide in it. I don't have any other comorbidity too like liver issues..so how long will my treatment take time? Will it take longer than 6 months if pyrazinamide content is missing in it? Or should I get one with pyrazinamide content?

Let's break it down. Did you had blood tests done before starting tablets? Did your doctor said anything about increased uric acid levels or so?
