Content Summary :

7. What are your tasks as the TB Treatment Supporter? Your tasks as the TB Treatment Supporter are very important. You must: ● Agree on a time and place to meet with the TB patient. Do not make the patient wait. ● Give the patient the TB drugs at each appointment according to the schedule. Look at the drugs to be sure they are correct. Watch the patient swallow all the drugs. ● Record on the TB Treatment Card each time the patient takes the drugs. (The TB Treatment Card is explained in the next section in this booklet.) ● Be aware of possible side effects. Have the patient eat food with the drugs if needed to reduce nausea. Refer the patient to the health facility if he continues to have side effects. ● Encourage the patient to continue coming for TB treatment. ● Respond quickly if the patient misses a scheduled treatment. When a patient misses a dose for more than 24 hours, visit the patient’s home. Find out the problem that caused the interruption. Give the treatment. If unable to fi nd the patient or convince the patient to continue the treatment, contact the health centre for help without delay.
