I'm a bit worried because my doctor just switched my TB medication from AKT 4 to RCinex 450300 and Mycobutol 1000 without doing any tests. I've only been on the meds since the beginning of March, and he mentioned that TB doesn't spread after 15 days of treatment, so it's okay to resume normal activities. Could you please let me know if this change is safe and if it's really true that TB isnt contagious after just 15 days on meds?
