Health Ministry launches daily regimen for TB patients
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has recently launched daily regimen for TB patients across the country under “The Revised National TB Control Programme” (RNTCP).
The Health Ministry has been providing the thrice weekly regimen for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), but now it has decided to change the treatment strategy for TB patients from thrice weekly to daily drug regimen using fixed dose combinations (FDC) for treatment.
The salient but important features of this treatment strategy are drugs to be given daily (as against only 3 times weekly previously), fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets to be used which will reduce pill burden (as against separate 7 tablets previously), for children, child- friendly formulations as dispersible tablets and use of Information Technology (IT)-enabled treatment adherence support system.
The daily FDC anti-TB drugs will be made available to private pharmacy or at private practitioners to dispense to TB patients who seek care in the private sector, depending upon the convenience of patient and practitioner free of cost. The Health Ministry will take this forward with all major hospitals, IMA, IAP and other professional medical associations to expand the access to daily FDC to all TB patients.
