Kanamycin2. Levofloxacin3. Ethambutol4. Ethionamide5. Cycloserine6. Pyrazinamide7. Para Amino Salicylic acid (PAS).So your treatment is not according to the standard guidelines for MDR tuberculosis.So better to consult tuberculosis specialist and discuss all these.Moxifloxacin and capreomycin are used in XDR (extremely drug resistant) tuberculosis not in MDR.
