Hello
As far as concerned about the duration of treatment with R Cinex ( rifampicin+ isoniazide ) . This all depends on the doctor , condition of patient , depth of disease , how patient is responding to treatment and lastly side effects of drugs.
Usually the duration of treatment varies from 6 month to 30 months continuously . There are few side effects of both drugs like neuritis, nausea, vomiting , red color urine , skin reactions . But till date no major side effect observed even after 30 months treatment.
The benefits of these drug are so powerful , we can ignore the side effects.
So consult your treating physician and get his opinion .
One thing I want to tell you that don't stop this treatment without the consent of your doctor.
I find this answer helpful
