Sample Use Guides

1- Clean the affected area and completely cover with the ointment. A sterile dressing can be used to dress the area. 2- Apply the ointment twice a day, for about 10 days. If full recovery is not achieved, the doctor will consider administration of an additional 10-day course of treatment.
Route of Administration: Topical
Methylbenzethonium chloride at 0.1 and 0.5 microg/ml inhibited the parasite development by 39.5% and 65.2%. Imiquimod (5-10 microg/ml) combined with either paromomycin (25, 50 and 100 microg/ml) or methylbenzethonium chloride (0.1 and 0.5 microg/ml) showed an anti-leishmanial additive effect.
