Treatment of abdominal Tuberculosis

Abdominal TB needs to be treated with at least 3-4 anti TB drugs for the initial 2 months and subsequently 2 anti TB drugs for at least 7-10 months.

The commonly used drugs during the initial 2 months therapy (intensification phase) are Isoniazid (INH), Rifampicin, Ethambutol and Pyrazinamide. During the next 7-10 months (continuation phase)  the drugs commonly used are INH and Rifampicin.
