Antimony sodium tartrate (stibophen) is a trivalent antimony compound having the same actions and uses as the potassium tartrate but more water-soluble and less irritant when injected. Antimony sodium tartrate has been used in the treatment of Schistosomiasis since 1918. It is a toxic drug and may cause unpleasant side-effects.This drug is now rarely used in the therapy of leishmaniasis, as drugs which are much better tolerated are available

to their weights, taking 60 kg as adult weight.
