Clofazimine is a medication used for the treatment of tuberculosis and leprosy.
MFDS ingredient code M081881
Clofazimine is an antibiotic that is effective against leprosy and tuberculosis bacteria. It is primarily used for the treatment of leprosy and is also utilized as an adjunct therapy for tuberculosis. This ingredient aims to suppress the infected bacteria.
Clofazimine binds to the DNA of bacteria, disrupting their proliferation. This prevents bacteria from growing and reproducing, thereby reducing infection. It also has the effect of alleviating inflammatory responses.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike other anti-tuberculosis agents, Clofazimine accumulates within bacteria and exerts its effects over a long period. It has the characteristic of causing pigmentation in the skin and tissues, which aids in monitoring the treatment progress.
