Do not stop your leprosy treatment on your own. The duration of treatment depends on the type of leprosy and your clinical response, so please consult your doctor to confirm whether treatment can be safely stopped or needs to be continued.

    • Multidrug therapy typically lasts 6-12 months, but longer treatment may be necessary based on your response.

  3. Risks of Stopping Early

    • Premature discontinuation can lead to relapse or drug resistance.

  4. Regular Follow-Up

    • Schedule regular check-ups with your dermatologist or leprosy specialist to assess progress and adjust treatment as needed.
