氯法齐明副作用如何预防？

Clofazimine is a very common therapeutic drug that can be used to treat various types of leprosy. Clofazimine has a slow bactericidal effect on Mycobacterium leprae and is used in combination with other anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis drugs. Clofazimine is also effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The dose of Clofazimine should be adjusted according to the patient's condition, and drug allergies and adverse reactions should be carefully observed. How to prevent clofazimine side effects?

When patients receive clofazimine treatment, they should strictly follow the doctor's instructions, so as to maximize the efficacy of the drug and reduce the occurrence of side effects. People with a history of gastrointestinal diseases or liver function impairment and those who are intolerant to Clofazimine should use this drug with caution. Clofazimine should be taken with food or milk. To prevent the development of resistance to clofazimine, patients should be treated with one or more other antileprosy drugs. In case of overdose of Clofazimine, induce vomiting, gastric lavage, and catharsis, and provide symptomatic and supportive treatment if necessary. 

Clofazimine has multiple anti-MTB action mechanisms. Its most likely action mechanism is by interfering with the nucleic acid metabolism of MTB, binding to its DNA, inhibiting DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, preventing RNA synthesis, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and exerting its antibacterial effect. Clofazimine is less likely to develop drug resistance than other anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Clofazimine has both preventive and therapeutic effects on erythema nodosum leprosy. The incidence and severity of erythema nodosum leprosy are significantly lower in tumor-type patients treated with clofazimine than in those treated with DDS. For erythema nodosum leprosy that has long been dependent on glucocorticoids, glucocorticoids can be gradually withdrawn after treatment with clofazimine. In addition, Clofazimine is also effective in treating neuritis caused by type I leprosy.
