Should asymptomatic tuberculosis patients take medicine?

Tuberculosis can be divided into initial treatment, retreatment and drug resistance. Isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol are normally used in the initial treatment of tuberculosis

Retreatment of tuberculosis will be combined with streptomycin, the course of treatment will be relatively prolonged; MDR-TB will use some second-line antituberculosis drugs, with more types and longer course of treatment.

Tuberculosis patients should try not to drink or smoke. Most people know you can't smoke if you have lung disease. But I don't know that drinking also has a great impact on the treatment of tuberculosis, because many anti tuberculosis drugs have damage to liver function, and drinking also has damage to liver function. Drinking at the same time of treating tuberculosis will increase the burden of liver, which is prone to serious liver function damage. In addition, drinking will affect the metabolism of many drugs. So tuberculosis patients can neither smoke nor drink.
