1. What Glucantime is and what it is used for

Glucantime belongs to a group of medicines called Leishmanicides.

Glucantime is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Visceral leishmaniasis (Kala azar)
  • Cutaneous leishmaniasis (Oriental button) and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of a variety of mosquito.

2. What you need to know before taking Glucantime

Do not use Glucantime

  • if you are allergic to meglumine antimoniate or any of the other components of this medicine listed in section 6.
  • if you have kidney, heart, or liver failure (malfunction of the kidneys, heart, or liver).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Glucantime.

  • If you are allergic, because Glucantime contains sulfites, which can induce or worsen important allergic reactions (anaphylactic-type).
  • If you experience an allergic reaction (see section "Possible side effects"). Contact your doctor or a healthcare professional or go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital immediately.
  • You will be asked to undergo liver and kidney function tests during treatment, due to the risk of intolerance to antimony, which is the component of Glucantime.

Stop using Glucantime and contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • nausea or vomiting, fever, feeling of tiredness, loss of appetite, dark-colored urine, light-colored stools, yellowish discoloration of the skin or the white part of the eyes, itching, rash, or pain in the upper abdomen.

These symptoms may be signs of liver problems.

  • Since meglumine antimoniate can cause cardiac disorders such as QT interval prolongation and severe arrhythmia, it is recommended to perform ECG controls during treatment. Your doctor should exercise caution when using this medicine if you have known risk factors for a cardiac disease called QT interval prolongation, such as:
  • you have an uncorrected electrolyte imbalance (e.g., low potassium or magnesium levels)
  • you have congenital long QT syndrome (inherited heart disease)
  • you have heart disease (e.g., myocardial infarction, decreased heart rate (bradycardia))
  • you are being treated with other medicines known to prolong the QT interval (e.g., Class IA and III antiarrhythmic drugs, some tricyclic antidepressants, some macrolide antibiotics, some antipsychotics, other antiparasitic drugs).
  • This medicine is not recommended for patients with L. aethiopicadue to the possibility of resistance.

  • In case of no response to this treatment, it is recommended to change it and use other leishmanicidal medicines.

Other medicines and Glucantime

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medicine.

Medicines known to prolong the QT interval: meglumine antimoniate should be used with caution in patients being treated with medicines known to prolong the QT interval (e.g., Class IA and III antiarrhythmic drugs, some tricyclic antidepressants, some macrolides, some antipsychotics, other antiparasitic drugs) (see section "Warnings and precautions").

It is recommended to avoid simultaneous administration of Glucantime with medicines that have toxic effects on the heart, liver, pancreas, or nervous system.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Since the safety of Glucantime in pregnancy has not been demonstrated, it should not be administered during pregnancy, unless your doctor considers that the benefit of administering this medicine outweighs the possible risk to you and the fetus.

Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity.

It is not known whether Glucantime is excreted in breast milk. For this reason, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Glucantime.

Driving and using machines

No studies have been conducted on the ability to drive and use machines.

Glucantime contains sulfites, sodium, and potassium

This medicine can cause severe allergic reactions and bronchospasm (sudden feeling of suffocation) because it contains sulfites.

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per 1 ml of injectable solution; it is essentially "sodium-free".

This medicine contains less than 39 mg (1 mmol) of potassium per 1 ml of injectable solution, so it is considered essentially "potassium-free".

3. How to take Glucantime

  • for 20 days in case of cutaneous leishmaniasis
  • for 28 days in case of visceral and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.

Your doctor will indicate the duration of treatment.Do not stop treatment before.

If the disease persists or recurs after completing treatment, your doctor should refer you to a specialized service for follow-up. It may be necessary to repeat the treatment cycle in these cases.

Children:

Follow the same doses used for adults: 20 mg/kg/day of antimony (75 mg/kg/day of meglumine antimoniate).

  • 20 days in case of cutaneous leishmaniasis
  • 28 days in case of visceral and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.

If you use more Glucantime than you should

If you receive more Glucantime than you should, consult your doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately.

In case of overdose, gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting, diarrhea) of varying severity, skin disorders such as urticaria, liver disorders such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin), heart disorders (decreased heart rate, electrocardiogram changes), kidney disorders such as renal failure (malfunction of the kidneys), blood disorders, and nervous system disorders (nerve inflammation) may occur. In very rare cases, they can be life-threatening.
