A member asked:
Why do i need to take tb medicines regularly?

Resistance: If you do not take them regularly, TB will have the time to learn how to defeat the antibiotic, thus becoming resistant. This is the main reason why we are approaching the time when a new strain of untreatable TB will emerge.
