Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of two treatments for cutaneous leishmaniasis: intramuscular meglumine antimoniate and oral miltefosine.
- - Conducted from January to December 2021 on 66 male patients aged 18-60, results showed a higher treatment success rate for meglumine antimoniate, but it also had more side effects leading to patient withdrawals.
- - The conclusion indicated that while meglumine antimoniate was more effective, its associated side effects raise concerns about its overall safety compared to miltefosine.
