Dear patient
Your father are taking correct medication for tuberculosis. All drugs you mentioned are essential for treatment of tuberculosis. They side effects of gastritis and vomiting so do not stop them if you get vomiting as side effects will decrease with time. Duration of treatment is 6 months minimum so Take complete treatment. If you stop treatment before 6 months bacteria become drug resistant and you will require onother drugs which have more side effects , costly and less effective. Monthly follow up with treating physician and blood test is also must. All the best.
