| If you don't continue taking your medicine after you feel better
or aren't taking your medicine regularly, this can be very dangerous.
The TB bacteria will grow again and you will remain sick for a longer
time. The bacteria may also become resistant to the drugs you are taking.
You may need new different drugs to kill the TB bacteria if the old
drugs no longer work. These new drugs must be taken for a longer time
and usually have more serious side effects. |
