Dear colleague,
My experience is from Ethiopia, long ago. I do not think that it is important, which treatment you start first. There is hardly any interaction. The only small risk is that treating the Leishmaniasis leads to an ENL reaction. But that may happen before and after the treatment for the leprosy has started.
With kind regards,
Dr Ben Naafs
