Response to Anti-TB medication in single dose sachet
-----------------------------------------------------

Dear Idrug participants,

I have a feeling that the news report is erroneous. The sachet having
four drugs would have to be replaced by one with two drugs. Until now i
haven?t come across any combination that gives more than 60% cure rates
at 2 months - and that is not enough for a public health use. However, 
I would love to know more on the forum.
