Changed regimen to below for Liver problem Levofloxacin 1000 Ethambutol 1200 Rifampicin 600(23 days total initially) Clofazimine 100(50 days initially). Current regimen ( January 14 to April 19) Rifampicin 600 Levofloxacin 1000 Ethambutol 1200 Pyrodoxine -20 5 month treatment over Now Along with above drugs again added clofazimine 100 for 1more months.
