Tuberocolosis pleural Effussion TPE
I am 35 year old healthy man with no smoking and alcohol activity. I have been diagnosed Tuberocolosis pleural Effussion TPE after doing some investigation and chest X ray on 22.02.2020.
Due to this i am suffering from cough, weakness and evening rise temperature.
My doctor advised me to take one capsule of Rcinex every morning empty stomach (Rifampin 450 mg and isoniazid 300 mg) for initial two months. Later on the treatment will continue upto six months. My question
1) Is it a sufficient treatment for TPE ?
2) will it get completely cured ?
3) my immunity has lowered. How could I improve it ?

He would have prescribed you two more medications ( pyrazinamide and ethambutol) please check once. Yes it's totally curable disease with 6months of regular treatment
