Clofazimine in ENL reaction


Leprosy Mailing List – September 2nd, 2010

Ref.:   Clofazimine in ENL reaction
From: Francesca Gajete, Cebu, Philippines



Dear Dr Romero,

Thank you for your message dated LML Aug. 29th, 2010.  In our (8) Sanitaria  including the Skin Clinic of Leonard Wood Memorial Research in Leprosy in Cebu, Philippines and occasionally in the field the combination of Prednisone and Clofazimine using the standard WHO regimen has successfully controlled recurrent ENL.  We have also been using Clofazimine in those patients who have contraindications for Prednisone use.

We get our supply of loose Clofazimine both 100mg and 50 mg capsules from WHO, Geneva, through Dr Steve Lyons.
