Philippine College of Physicians
Statement on Using Milk As Substitute For Tuberculosis Medication
23 May 2025

Amid misinformation about the health benefits of drinking milk to combat tuberculosis, the Philippine College of Physicians (P*P) and Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) Council on Tuberculosis would like to clarify that tuberculosis is a disease entity caused by: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is transmitted through airborne droplets between people.

Active TB disease, with susceptible strains, can be cured by a combination of a 4-drug regimen: isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol given over a span of 6 months. Milk supplementation supports bone health but is not an alternative to TB management.

Delay of treatment can cause spread to other organs and other people and may even lead to death.
