Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pyzina is having pyrazinamide.
Rcinex is having isoniazid and rifampicin.
Usual duration of anti tubercular drugs is 6-8 months.
So better not to take these drugs for more than 8 months because they do have side effects.
So consult your doctor once 8 months treatment is over.
For residual leg weakness, physiotherapy and exercise are beneficial. So consult physiotherapist.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
