Is it okay if I take my TB medicine in the evening even though it's supposed to be taken at night? I haven't skipped a dose, it's just the timing that's different. Let me know if that's a problem.

I had TB twice, first in 1997 and again in 2012, with surgeries both times. I completed a 2-year course of meds like T.combutol, T.monopass, and others. Now I'm fine, but my weight has gone up to 89 kg. Recent tests show uric acid at 8.1, total cholesterol 207, HDL 35, LDL 139, triglycerides 125. My doctor suggested losing 17 kg in 2 years through gym. Do you think I really need to lose that much weight, given my medical history?

yes wt reduction is advised.
