Hi ,
First of all you are taking daily medicine and not dots like regime ,so all drugs are in proper doses for daily dose ,as pyrazinamide can be increased to 2250 as it's dose is appx 25mg/kg ,you should also take pyridoxine tab daily and do your baseline test of liver function , Opthalmology check up and diet should be of increased protein ,take 3-4 eggs in a day if u r non vegetarian ,fever usually takes 2 weeks to subside
