GlossaryLeprosy Treatment

involves multi-drug therapy to kill Mycobacterium leprae bacteria

Leprosy treatment, also known as Hansen's Disease treatment, involves a multi-drug therapy (MDT) regimen typically consisting of dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine. This combination effectively kills the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, which causes the disease, and helps prevent the development of drug resistance. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment are crucial to prevent nerve damage, disability, and the spread of the disease.
