HelloYour brother has taken full treatment ( assumed that anti-tubercular treatment was according to WHO standard). Hope at present he don't have any signs and symptoms. So first consult your treating physician as different physician advise different duration for anti-tubercular Chat Doctor. If tuberculin PCR test is negative, don't having any sign and symptoms, blood tests are normal, physical examination is also normal then you can stop the treatment. But about the stopping the final decision will be taken by treating physician, so consult and get his opinion. Few doctor also advise anti-tubercular treatment for 18 months, but all depend on signs, symptoms, physical condition of patient. Good luck.
