Time to recovery among tuberculosis patients receiving anti-Koch’s drug in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria

This study showed a significant recovery after the use of anti-Kochs drugs. The recovery time of the participants was 61 days, which indicated that anti-Kochs drug is very effective for TB treatment. To increase adherence, it is suggested that the policy should be changed from the required time of 6 months (180 days) to 2 months (61 days), since the drugs require them to maintain a good diet during the time of taking the drugs. This finding is useful to the National TB Control Program and the hospital authorities.
