If a TB patient misses doses of anti-TB drugs (and is at risk for loss to follow-up), take the following actions as soon as possible:
- Inform the local TB control program, nurse or treatment supporter (if they are available) and enlist their help to locate the patient.
- Contact the patient by phone or/and visit at home or in the workplace to check the reason for non-adherence, discuss the situation and encourage the patient to continue his/her treatment without interruptions.
- Take the daily dosage of the patient’s anti-TB drugs with you, to provide directly observed treatment during your visit.
