Dear Colleagues,
as you'll all know, intramuscular injections of sodium stibogluconate or
meglumine antimoniate are very painful, especially in children and in kala
azar patients with wasted muscles. Does anyone know if lignocaine (in USA:
lidocaine) may be mixed in the same syringe with antimonials, or will it
have an interaction?
yours, Robert Davidson
