ATT medicines
I have been under ATT since March 16th to be specific. I was enrolled under the DOTS program, however recently I was made aware of the fact that the government has stopped the programme . I have been suggested to purchase the medicines for ATT from a private vendor. Is it safe? I have been taking the Akurit 3 tablets and was feeling better. Will the change in medicines from a government organisation to private cause problems??
