Abstract
The incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) has revived and has become one of the emergent cause of tension in the healthca re sector specially in the tropical countries causing huge number of deaths. Non-adherence to the TB control progra ms is also one of the serious issues. A cross-sectional research determined for the investigations of the restricted co mpliance with anti-TB treatment in the patients of TB was conducted in 2015 targeting the Gujranwala. Research sa mple was 200 patients including 100 TB cases with default treatment record and remaining hundred were treatment compliers. Interview were conducted for the collection of data and also consulted the clinical investigations. Every p atient showed an improvement, adverse drug effects and significant non-compliance reasons. Awareness in the patie nts is very much required about the duration of treatment and outcomes if treatment is not completed. Serious patien ts should be treated by keeping them under supervision so that adverse effect managed effectively. There is need to i mprove the diagnostic capability of health care centers so that patients were properly diagnosed and treated.
