Hi
Welcome to HCM!
The treatment of TB spine of Pott's disease depends upon the staging of the disease. The usual duration of treatment of TB spine is between 12 -24 months, in the initial phase of 3-6 months four drugs are given followed by maintenance phase of 9-12 months two drugs are prescribed along with the supportive management including the care of the spine.
I hope your doubt is cleared.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.,
Regards
