Query about medicine timings
I have diagnosed with extra pulmonary tuberculosis a month ago, is it necessary to take medicine at the exact time which i have taken on day 1? Is timing matters most? What happens if i didn't take medicine on the exact time?

Don't panic.
Delay is acceptable. Just don't miss any doses.

Hi, 1 hour delay it permissible.
But you cannot take it like one day in the morning, next day in noon or evening.
You may end up getting resistance to the ATT medications and need for higher treatment.
Kindly take ATT at the same time everday for effective treatment and cure
