Learning ObjectivesConstituents of Patient-wise Boxes [PWB] for Isoniazid [H] Mono/Poly DR-TB Regimen
Standard Patient-wise Boxes (PWBs) are constituted for TB patients initiated on Isoniazid (H) Mono/ Poly Drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) regimen.
This regimen has no segregation in terms of Intensive Phase (IP) or Continuation Phase (CP), hence drugs are provided in a single type of PWB.
