Applications · 3 items
Uses1. It belongs to sulfa drugs and used for the treatment of bacillary dysentery and enteritis. 2. It can be used for the treatment of intestinal antibacterial infections such as bacterial dysentery enteritis and can also be used to prevent infection before bowel surgery. 3. It is the first-choice of drug for the treatment of leprosy, being suitable for the treatment of various types of leprosy and being able to alleviate the clinical symptoms. It can generally alleviate the mucosal lesions rapidly with the improvement of skin lesions occurring more slowly, with even slower rate in neuropathy, thereby leading to long course. It is easy to produce drug resistance and difficult to cure. In addition, it can also be used for the treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis, lupus, psoriasis, foot fungus disease and malaria. Its preparation is tablet.
