Paromomycin
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 06/25/09

Davidson RN et al. - Paromomycin in combination with sodium stibogluconate has proven to be effective in African and Indian VL and improves survival in African VL. To prevent the emergence of drug-resistant leishmaniasis in areas of anthroponotic transmission (India and Africa), paromomycin should be used as part of combination therapy for VL. In addition, the distribution of paromomycin should be well regulated and preferably restricted to the public sector. These strategies should ensure the longevity of paromomycin as a useful drug for VL.
