Frequently Asked Questions – TB Management

Q.Is TB completely curable?

Yes. Tuberculosis is fully curable with a proper and complete course of specialized medication, even in cases that have previously relapsed.

Q.How long does TB treatment take?

A standard treatment course usually takes 6 months, while complex or drug-resistant (MDR) cases may require 18–24 months of specialized therapy.

Q.Is TB contagious?

Untreated pulmonary TB can spread through the air. However, starting effective treatment significantly reduces transmission risk within just a few days.

Q.Can TB come back?

Yes, if the treatment is interrupted early or if the body's immunity is very low. Completing the full prescribed course is the best prevention against recurrence.
