About Hansepran 100 Capsule 10's

Hansepran 100 Capsule 10's belongs to the group of medicines called antileprotic drugs primarily used to treat Leprosy (infectious disease-causing skin lesions and nerve damage). Leprosy, commonly known as Hansen's disease, is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which is a chronic infectious disease.
