A member asked:
Lost 6kg weight during tb treatment in last 6 months? will i gain weight or it will reduce more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TB treatment: Probably it is the TB itself causing weight loss, not the treatment. You should start to regain weight as the infection improves. However, improvement usually starts long before 6 months. Check back with the doctor or clinic where you are being treated. Good luck!
