Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.

Product care

Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

What Is Glucantime Used For?

Glucantime treats leishmaniasis, an infection caused by a parasite spread by the bite of infected sandflies. It is used for:

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, which causes skin sores and ulcers that can leave scars
Visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar), which affects the liver, spleen and bone marrow
Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, which can damage the nose and mouth

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is common in parts of Pakistan, especially Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and areas near the Afghan border.

How Meglumine Antimoniate Works

The antimony in Glucantime enters the parasite and interferes with how it produces energy. This kills the parasite and allows skin sores or internal organs to heal.

How Glucantime Is Given

Glucantime is given by a doctor or nurse. For skin sores, it is often injected directly into and around the edge of the lesion, usually once a week for several weeks. For widespread or internal infection, it is given as a daily injection into a muscle, usually for 20 to 28 days. The dose depends on body weight and the type of infection. Complete the full course, even if sores start to heal early.

Monitoring

For systemic treatment, your doctor may arrange an ECG and blood tests for your liver, kidneys, pancreas and blood cells before and during the course.

Side Effects

Pain, swelling or redness at the injection site
Muscle and joint pain
Nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite
Headache
Tiredness

Rare but serious effects include heart rhythm changes, inflammation of the pancreas, and liver or kidney problems. Seek help for palpitations, fainting, severe stomach pain, yellow skin or eyes, or reduced urine.

Who Should Not Use Glucantime?

People with serious heart, liver or kidney disease
Pregnant women, unless a doctor decides the benefit outweighs the risk
Anyone allergic to antimony compounds

Tell your doctor about any heart rhythm medicines or other medicines that affect the heart, as these can increase the risk of rhythm problems.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack, away from heat and light. Do not use an ampoule if the solution looks cloudy or has particles.
