The combination is effective against TB. Lack of pyrazinamide doesn’t promote development of drug resistance. Irregular treatment, improper dosing and timing does. There could be a specific reason why your doctor avoided pyrazinamide. Ask him why. There could be concerns with liver injury, Uric acid level, etc.
