Hello
Montaux test is negative , this is not a matter of concern because sometimes tuberculosis may present even though test is negative .
But in your case important point is R-cinex ( rifampicin+ isoniazide) and pyrazinamide .
This is not a complete regime and not a standard treatment .
This type pf incomplete treatment usually develop resistant to multiple drugs .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion ( 2nd one ) as this is important in your case.
Please don't start this treatment till second opinion.
good luck.
