Anti-tuberculosis (TB) (thrice weekly) regimen as per directly observed treatment short-course (DOTS) regimen of isoniazid, rifampicin (600 mg each), pyrazinamide (1500 mg) and ethambutol (1200 mg) was started (manufactured by Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.). In an attempt to prove the clinical suspicion of an adverse drug reaction (ADR) to one of the drugs and to identify the culprit drug, it was decided to withdraw one drug at a time.
