Commonly used drugs for leishmaniasis. Meglumine antimoniate and stibogluconate are pentavalent antimonials used to treat cutaneous (CL) [36,37], mucocutaneous (ML) [38], and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) [38]. Pentamidine is also employed for the treatment of all three forms of this disease [39,40,41]. Paromomycin and miltefosine have shown effectiveness in treating both VL [42] and CL [43,44,45]. Amphotericin B is also an effective treatment option for VL [46] and CL [47].
