Pulmonary fibrosis and tuberculosis
Hi, my mother is diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and tuberculosis. currently she is following the DOTS course(been 8 days now). got her lft checked and showed it to another doctor. he said we will need to discontinue the current version of DOTS as it is affecting her liver and she must have lost her appetite which is true and suggested his own medicine. i wanted to know if it is fine to do this. as far as i know , the DOTS center people are giving a standard medicine and its a widely followed course. could u please guide. i am attaching her lft and prescription about DOTS.

Hi. I understand your concern s. As her lft are elevated dots needs to be altered. Please consult a pulmonologist for the same. The TB treatment schedule definitely needs to be modified and needs a close follow up. Can not be done in dots.
