other anti-leprosy drugs.
Leprosy is a chronic and contagious
infection caused by mycobacterium leprae which affects the skin, nerves
outside the brain and spinal cord including upper respiratory tract’s
mucosa, and eyes. It is generally characterized by symptoms such as
discoloured skin patches with loss of sensations, numbness or tingling
sensation (in hands, feet, arms and legs), painless wounds/burns
(typically on hands and feet) and muscle weakness.

HOW HANSEPRAN 50MG WORKS
HANSEPRAN
50MG induces membrane dysfunction in the bacterial cell which also
works by blocking the production of certain cells (responsible for
causing inflammation) in the body that results in destruction of
bacterial cell and prevention of inflammatory reaction in the body thus
helps to manage lepromatous leprosy and its associated symptoms.
