In the struggle with tuberculosis over the centuries, one of the difficulties is the limited number of anti-TB drugs while the effects occur quite often. Although common, not all patients experience these side effects. The incidence of common side effects can range from >1% to >10%.

Capreomycin is prepared in the form of an injectable powder, with the main ingredient being Capreomycin. The drug is used in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a public health crisis and a global health security threat with serious consequences for those affected. Treatment of drug-resistant or rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis requires a combination of different second-line drugs and a treatment duration of 18 months or more.

The main cause of drug-resistant tuberculosis is patient non-compliance with treatment regimens. Currently, Vietnam is one of 30 countries with a high burden of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the world. Although there have been some significant achievements in the prevention of tuberculosis in general and drug-resistant tuberculosis in particular, drug-resistant tuberculosis remains a global concern.

Currently, diagnosing tuberculosis in children is still difficult due to non-specific symptoms and low detection rate of tuberculosis bacteria by paraclinical tests. Treatment of children with tuberculosis needs to be carried out according to the treatment regimen and as soon as possible.

Our country is one of the countries with a high rate of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the world. Multidrug resistance makes the treatment of tuberculosis even more difficult, increasing the mortality rate due to tuberculosis. Not only that, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria can also spread to people around if not detected and controlled early.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a dangerous form of tuberculosis with side effects that seriously affect the patient's health. Treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis is not only costly but also takes longer than that of normal tuberculosis. Therefore, patients need to strictly follow the treatment principles as directed by their doctor.

Currently, Vietnam is one of 30 countries with a high rate of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the world. The disease is not only easy to catch but also causes many difficulties in the treatment process. So how to detect drug-resistant tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis treatment requires a long period of time, so many people, without being reminded, may forget or stop taking their medication without knowing that this can be a major risk to their lives and those around them due to extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease with a high infection rate if you work, come into contact with and live with sick people regularly. People with pulmonary tuberculosis often have to take medication for 6-9 months, or even longer than 12 months. So how long does it take to stop being contagious after taking tuberculosis medication and why does the disease take such a long time to treat?
