    antibiotic used to treat leprosy by inhibiting bacterial growth

    Clofazimine is an antibiotic primarily used to treat leprosy, a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It works by binding to the DNA of the bacteria, inhibiting their growth and reducing inflammation. While it is effective in managing leprosy, it can cause side effects such as skin discoloration and gastrointestinal issues.
